Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade my front brakes on my S and there are three options for the amount I want to spend.

1.Stoptech 328mm 4 pot front BBK
2.Wilwood Forged Narrow Superlite 6R Big Brake Front Brake Kit
3.J's Racing Hyper 6IX 6 POT Brake Caliper Kit

If you have any of these or used them before, your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Or feel free to tell me which one you would purchase for your S.
Thanks guys.

 

I always ran the Wilwoods on our race and street cars with no issues at all. Been around a long time esp in the race world on all types of vehicles. Stoptech and J's are the new guys to me, but a lot of people are running them and seem to have a good reputation too. I drove a customers car a few weeks back with stk brakes and Hawk Performance Street race pads. Wow !! A huge difference by just changing pads. My last Wilwood Big brake kit on my S/C Miata used DBA slotted rotors with Kangaroo Paw technology for better cooling. I'm going to try a set of these in the 4000 series and the Hawk pads. I'm thinking this will be a big upgrade in stopping power and I'll spend half the money. Any one else got a take on this?

 

I agree on the significant impact of high performance pads. My first brake change was to to to Hawk Blue. Lot of dust but great performance after they get some heat in them. The next was to go with the 2003 Accord V6 brake upgrade. I have Tarox 6-pot now.

So, you may want to test out a higher performance pad to see if it suits your needs. Front pads ought to be under $160 to test.

had the stoptech st40 328mm on for about a week now. pads make a huge difference. used the stock pads that it came with and swapped to proj mu and it's night and day.

waiting for the trophy kit to come in to test those out

 

Take a look at our new brake setups... we've got high performance options from our very affordable SBG designed Wilwood kit, to our full out endurance race SBG-Designed AP Competition brake kit, as well as our RX8 vented rear retrofit ebrake kit. http://www.sakebombgarage.com/s2000/brake/

Adding a few more brake kits to the S2000 mix will either make your decision easier, or tougher
