Default Upgrading S2000 break system
I would like to upgrade the break system for my Honda S2000 because under heavy driving in mountain roads it fades. What are the best upgrades? It is a 10/2004 European version.
Thanks in advance, Vassilis

what fluid do you use? SS lines and a higher boiling point fluid might be all thats needed...

Likely you just need some pads which have higher heat capacity.

Agree, start with known good, clean quality performance fluid and good pads. See if that resolves things.

True! Our cars don't have a break system, and are very reliable.

They do of course have a brake system.

Its sad when you aren't even fluent in your birth tongue (not that we know that is the case here, but you see it enough that the statement is still valid).

Look at the ATE dot 4 brake fluid and the Carbotech AX6 brake pads. Make sure to bed them correctly. Later
