Some sick brakes I stumbled across, Expensive, sexy, different.

I love brakes!!! How can you not love brakes. A majority of you know, mainly the track enthusiasts, that brakes play a HUGE role in lap times. A big brake kit for me, is like a supercharger or turbocharger for most...it is just a different aspect of performance.

I love the Endless Mono-6 kit because not only are they amazing...but SO sexy; but we will get to those in a minute.

First I would like to focus on these brakes that I happened to find while doing some research for a client.

I love the idea of the titanium burned calipers...how appealing are they in person...I have no idea. Just out of curiosity, I would like to see these calipers sitting on an S2000 behind a set of Gramlights with the titanium colored lip.










Now, for the main attraction: The Endless Mono-6 brake kit is one of the most pristine aftermarket kits I have ever seen. This kit screams UBER LATE BRAKING!

Here are some words from Endless regarding their E-Slit rotor and Mono-6 caliper:

those are hot!

yummy

What I am more interested in hearing from you is Endless's new rotor.
Everyone knows about the quality of Endless brake parts.

Burnt Titanium!!!! yay!!!! lol I love it

damn...sexy..
i will like to have one of those for s2k...

perforated vains in side the two rotor halves.

mmmmm, id love to have those!!

holy moses

endless brakes rock

That is insane. How the hell are the manufactured???

loving those rotors with the perforations.

i saw them on nengun's site awhile ago while lookin for bbk for my s2k, too bad app doesn't have a s2k app...but they have em for tegs and civics

Ohhh my.

Wow, pretty baller stuff right there, looks nice.

More accurately, those brakes scream heat capacity and heat dissapation. The stock brakes with nothing more than some Carbotechs or Cobalts and good fluid have more than enough power, they'll trigger ABS whenever you want. The real selling point in a big brake kit is the endurance aspect: bigger rotors, bigger pads = more mass to take the heat lap after lap.

So what would it take to put one of these amazing Mono-6 kits on an S2000? I don't see an AP2 application, but can't you just get a kit for another car w/ these same lug configuration and fabricate a caliper bracket? Or am I just a dumb rookie? Lol.

More power to you if you are seriously considering an endless mono kit. They are insanely expensive!

I'd be confident to say the kit is worth close, if not more, the value of your car.

Well, I've seen the kit priced around $15K for other applications. It is much more expensive than other brake options. But like Hunter said, it's a huge part of your cars' performance. I'm almost done paying the car off. I plan on turning it into a track beast. Already talking with a couple shops about a sequential gearbox. Boosting and building the engine isn't too hard, stopping a powerful and lightweight car consistantly is.

Are you planning to take out a loan for the brakes next? jk

But seriously, if you're looking for mono-bloc, Brembo makes an application specific kit at a bargain price of 10k. Although a lot more cost effective options are available. It's pretty hard for anyone to justify 15k brakes as a vital part of performance, especially given the weight, or lack of, of the s2000. If you're serious about building a track car, I suggest you spend more time in R&C. It helped me learn a lot. There are some insanely fast guys running without mono-blocs and sequential transmissions (crazy, I know).

Honestly, these brakes are AMAZING!!! Would I ever buy them? Sure, when I win the lottery.

For a car as light as the S2000, a Mono6 is definitely not required. You can get an outstanding Endless 6-Pot Mini front BBK for $3,940 retail, and with the promotions we are running right now, you can acquire it for $3,550 shipped.

So there are definitely other, more affordable options available that are still just as impressive and functional.

EDIT: Another idea that I have in mind; the E-Slit rotors go for $350 a piece...I would like to buy these rotors and then either acquire the Spoon Monoblock calipers or a set of Endless 6-pot calipers with Endless brake lines and brake fluid. The total cost, if you go retail, is less than half of what the mono-6 goes for and you are piecing together your own high quality BBK...just my .02.

endless made a caliper only kit for s2k???
if so how much?

Unless you are implying a custom bracket for the Spoons, I don't see how that would work.

Is the E-Slit rotor compatible with the standard Endless hat? If not, is the E-Slit hat the same offset from the hub as the standard Endless hat? If you have to purchase the E-Slit rotor and hat, the price would a lot higher.
