All of you with STREET high power boosted S2k, what did you have to change in your brake setup to even things out? My buddy with 400hp Turbo s2k and AP1 pads had serious brake fade when he started rapid speed decent from 140mph, he said it was very scary. I am thinking of switching back to AP2 pads after that story since they were reformulated for better fading resistance.

What did YOU do?

Did you settle for OEM pads with slotted rotors?
Did you switch up to race pads on the street?

Tell me EVERYTHING. lol

 

No idea. I am still on my oem brake rotor n pad since i bought my car 07. Brand new. N boosted around 12k miles..

 

400 whps vortech set up.

 

i use redstuff pads in the front. seems alright

 

Just alright?

 

Stock calipers/pads/rotors (475whp with my previous setup; 411whp with my current setup). No issues.

 

AP1 or AP2 pads guys?

AP2 pads when I ran them gripped pretty hard compared to the AP1s. So I am very interested in knowing what you run.

 

i honestly can't remember lol and my car is still stored right now. but no issues as far as i remember.

a bit more stopping power with these pads as well.

 

Upgraded to wilwood dual pistons calipers. Not exactly "big brake kit" but helps a lot . Not that expensive neither, I paid 550 shipped for a used set here on s2ki.

 

Over 500 hp
Factory AP-1 pads for less dust
Cryo treated rotors.
I've been bringing it down from 130-150 mph with no problems or worries.
