First of all I got a 2002 and I'm getting the car ready for my first track day,
Hks hypermax iv sp coilover
225/45/17&255/40/17 on rs3
strut bar
Aem v2 intake
Hks exhaust & invidia test pipe 60mm
And now I need ss lines with new rotors and pads and moddiction offer a kit for $480 so Ive been searching around for reviews on that kit but it's seems like nobody made one,should I mix oem rotors,with hawk hps pads and challenge ss lines or go with that kit...?

 

There is no problem mixing pads and rotors and brake lines. But one word on pads there is not a pad made in the world that is good for everything. Street pads fad on the track and track pads on the street do not get hot enough to work properly. You need to change pads between street and track. To that end I like Carbotech pads because they are made from the same base material so you do not have re-bed the pads to rotors when you switch pads. If you look at the re-bed process some manufactures what you to grind the rotors to get rid of the other pad material before using the new pads.

From Carbotech web site:

Proper USED brake rotor bed in procedures:

If rotors have been previously bedded with Carbotech brake pads, then bedding the rotors again is not necessary.
If rotors were previously bedded using a different manufacturer’s brake pads; then it is strongly recommended that the used discs (rotors) be reconditioned/turned and meet minimum specification requirements.
Start out with several near stops for the first 1-2 laps, while gradually increasing your speed and brake force with every stop.
Next, do another 1-2 laps at normal speed followed by a cool down lap. The gray coloration is the pad material depositing a transfer layer of material into the micro-grooves of the rotor. This process is pinnacle in achieving the best performance and life out of the rotor.
Then allow rotor(s) to completely cool down to ambient temperature.

Also you have to balance the pads in the front with the pads in the back.

 

Very good to know!

But for now I don't plan to do much track days probably just a few lap to see if I like that and after I'll save some money for those expensive days!!!

So will the stop tech sport kit do the job?

 

Opinions?

 

First track day???

As long as the car is in good shape, fresh brake fluid, good tires/pads... you should be good to go.

A stock S2000 is a VERY capable track day car, better than most. I am not saying don't make changes, just do it after you have a base line for what the (near) stock car is doing.

I have done two track days with my S2000. The first was bone stock, the second was with some basic suspension mods. At the end of the day, I liked the stock car better.

 

The oem Honda pads are very good and very capable.

It has plenty of bite to stop you

IMHO stoptech pads are worse than stock. Something with stoptech/centric/powerslot rotors - they are crap too

Grab 4 stainless lines, techna fit, Goodridge, stoptech - it really doesn't matter and grab some quality fluid and a good bleed.

Get a quality alignment too

You don't need to put track tires or r comps being that it's your first day.

Probably continental dw will probably suffice.

 

I highly recommend looking into our Stoptech slotted brake package. It comes with all four rotors and pads for $374.99. It seems gptoyz did not have a positive experience with them, but we have sold countless packages and had a lot of positive feedback. The Stoptech pads are a para-aramid compound, which has great initial bite and long-term performance and lower dust and noise than most aftermarket brake pads. All of the rotors have a black e-coating on the hubs and vanes to protect against corrosion as well. These will provide better performance than OEM pads/rotors.

Stoptech rotors are great quality! Most popular we sell are the slotted ones. As for pads the stoptech pads are a pretty good street pad. For street driving over all the oem pads are hard to beat though they are more expensive.

Hawk HPS pads are garbage for this car and will perform worse than stock. The HP+ pads are great track pads but for the street they will cause a lot of noise and dust quite a lot. Our kits include the stainless lines all around. If you don't need those we beat anyone else's pricing so we always guarantee the lowest price on them!

For the lines they are a nice option to go with. Slightly improved pedal feel and no worry about corrosion. We sell a lot of the stoptech and goodridge lines. Pricing and quality is the same between the two.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help!
