You can run Hooiser A6, Khumo V710, Nitto NT01, and Toyo R888 in A-stock. they aren't jdm but the Hoosiers would be the best bet. Also which struts will you run?
dan - I will not be running Whitehouse, I'll be in Tallahassee to pick up an exhaust. Good luck if you're running it

So I'm thinking about setting my car up for A-Stock autocross for the time being (after being talked out of my grand plans for an HCCA H1 setup), but I want to stick with JDM parts for personal reasons (I know there are numerous reasons why it's a bad idea for racing in the US).
So I'm looking for three main things: an adjustable front sway bar, sone good street/autocross brake pads, and some good brake fluid.
I know that Tracy Sports has been "developing" an adjustable FSB, but I don't want to spend $1k on it (I can get a Gendron bar new for $500). I know that Cusco makes adjustable FSBs, but I haven't seen any for the S2000 -- it would be great if they did, since it would most likely be cheaper than Tracy Sports' bar. It would also be great if someone could give the the stiffness specs on the different ASM bars as well, since that might work out.
Brake pads -- I need something I can use on the street, and still use effectively at autocross events (no race pads, for a variety of reasons). I need something that has strong initial bite, but doesn't fade. I'm thinking Endless, either their CC-X or CC-R pads, but I don't know. Please only responses from people who have used JDM pads for racing purposes.
Brake fluid - I think Endless makes some -- if so, I'll get it (or whoever makes the fluid) as long as it works well for track useage (doesn't break down). If not, I have no problem going with Motul, this is more of just a novelty thing.

ThanksUpdate - plans were put on hold b/c of blown engine (not my fault according to Honda, so don't start), but I did drop some Project Mu brake fluid in -- seems to be great stuff. The boiling point is ridiculous (I forget it off the top of my head, but it basically eliminates any chance of your fluid overboiling), and it has a sweet-a** greenish-teal color (not their signiture color from what I can tell though) -- and according to my buddy who put it in, it smells like raspberries (I couldn't smell it, but maybe my nose isn't JDM enough).
Anyway, so in summary - Project Mu brake fluid =

One of my teammates Mike tracks his S2000 and he just acquired the Endless MX-72 brake pads. Very nice. He took me for a test drive and I could really feel the response. I believe he use to run CCX-65 (I think) but if I am not mistaken they discontinued that brake pad. I could be wrong on the name of that pad however. In the end though the MX-72 is a good street pad with weekend warrior performance IMO.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. What kind of tracking does he do? Auto-X, road racing, etc.?
