Best brake upgrade for AP1?
I'd like to upgrade my braking system and had a hard time finding conclusive results searching for past threads. Does AP Racing make an applicable kit? What are the best possible upgrades out there? Street/Track use.
Along the same lines as this post, someone today offered me 4 new AEM drill rotors for $150. I saw the same AEMs on his Acura Integra. This strikes me as a good price but I'm wondering if any of you have a comment on the quality/desirability of an AEM system. Or should we all just say Brembo in unison? Thanks.
The stock brakes are fantastic! The modulation is spot-on. The ABS functions perfectly without intrusion. The AP1 pads don't dust or squeal. Any more braking and all you get is tires locking-up without improving your braking distances on the street.
If you go to the track, just slap in some racing pads and Motul brake fluid and you can stop incredibly quick with very little fade.
Stock is pretty darned good.

I second that. Just get pads...Try a few different brands and you will find a set that you like.

Most BBK kits including Spoon do not work with stock wheels or many aftermarket wheels for that matter. With the special offsets on the S, it is just as difficult picking a BBK as it is deciding on rims that will fit it.
Wilwood 4-piston is the only BBK i'm aware of that fit OEM rims. Although I'd choose just about any BBK kit over that one so it doesn't mean much. I have Spoon calipers sitting here to be installed so I could be biased.
