Do you need to worry about point penalties for racing? Do you want brakes for show or just spirited street driving? Honestly some good carbotech or HPS pads on fresh rotors will stop very well. Remember if you get some 13" rotors, replacement pads and rotors aren't cheap. So application and what budget you have determines alot.

You can use Acura Brakes and Rotors that increases the brakes size without requiring you to buy expensive multi piston brakes like Stoptech.

I searched for it here, but, didn't come up with it. I did a google search for S2000 Acura Big Brake and found the info on a different S2000 dot com site. Read the whole thread as further down you'll find a link to a spacer that allows you to use stock rotors for an Acura.

How's the noise when you're driving on the street?

my first set I put on over rotors that'd had stock pads and they squealed

since I've been using only carbotech and only rotors used with carbotech pads they don't seem to squeal much but I don't drive it on the street a lot
if you use the paste stuff you should be ok

Ha. Same as their, they're, there. The American public education system sucks and it's showing. Guys I've worked with from India would kick all of our asses in English grammer and English is generally their 3rd language.

An education system is only as good as the parents make it.
It has little to do with public or private. Private schools appear to perform better as a parent paying for a school directly is more likely to stay involved with and supportive of the child’s progress. A child in a public school with an active and involved parent will perform just as well. The problem is parents who feel that the education of their child is solely the responsibility of the school.
As for your Indian example, is it a difference in the schools or a cultural difference where there is more emphasis on the importance of education and therefore greater parental involvement?
I think it is they’re more involved with their child’s education over there. So there!
