I'm looking into a few different big brake kits... Possibly AP Racing, Brembo or Stoptech. Curious if any of you 06+ owners have ran into issues with the VSA/ABS system. Most BBK that I read up on say that they're compatible with all traction control systems, but I'm not sure how much I trust that. Should I have any worries installing one, or possibly stay away from a certian brand?

oh Pete.

 

I have the Project Mu kit and have no issues on MY08 CR. The only thing to look out for is that the brake lines are different on the MY06+.

 

No issues with 06+. Just make sure you get 06+ brake lines

 

+1 | VSA has no effect on BBK. My buddy is running a Spoon BBK on his FY07.

 

If you actually use VSA you'll notice that with aggressive pads it doesn't work nearly as smooth as with stocks pads. But that's just a pad thing and it happens with stock calipers and race pads. Best bet is to turn it off when using race pads.

 

Thanks for all the info guys. Good to know I just have to worry about the brake lines. I keep getting torn on what kit I want. It's a close race between AP, Stoptech and the Spoon calipers.

 

Stop-tech.. Brake late, finish first.


Full Disclosure:
(Shameless plug. My friend is an exec with the company but I would put them on my car even if he wasn't. They win most of the brake comparo tests)

 

Feel free to post up some of these test results.
