Default Brake Upgrade

Had the car for about 2 months let the upgrades start!
I put new BFG Sport Comp 2 Tires all the way around.(Got rid of some terrible Hankook tires that came on it.)
Then Upgraded to Cross and drilled brakes all the way around with Adaptive One pads.
Time of Completion was about 45 mins easy install. After getting the set screws out and my rear caliper tool worked great.

Next Week its getting skunk2 lowering springs and Stainless Steel Brake Lines.

Curious if you have any data proving those rotors alone reduced stopping distance? I have personally seen a few name brand drilled rotors fail and also have seen them increase stopping distance over solid rotors.

I didn't check to see I was going for not warping rotors anymore I can do some brake tests and compare them with stock s2000 numbers.

But no I don't. I did do a temp test and them were loads cooler than before

Were you having warping issues with OE quality Japanese rotors? What are your intended uses of your S?

They were warped when I got it. Which I knew it needed brakes anyhow, got the cross and drilled for the same price as OE
