Best Motoring = Japanese Propoganda.

I do agree that the S2000 has great brakes and ABS system, and with XP10/8's they are adequate for heavy track use.

I now have something to brag about besides my drop top and handling

Thanks for the post! Too bad the BMW didn't come out looking good

We're agreeing, so I don't know why you think we're not. Let me elaborate on my statement: the stock brakes are not trackworthy, but the problem can be corrected by upgrading to race pads and fluid. Is that the end of the world? No, but there are performance cars out there (Porsche comes to mind) that don't require even pad changes to be track ready.

hehe...sorry. I misread your post because I was in class and distracted. Kinda funny to argue with someone who agrees with you. I'm gonna try that more often.

Cheers,

I believe no one has mentioned brake ducts to increase the efficiency and longevity of the brakes.

This is a vital addition to a fairly decent stock setup.

Brake Ducts is a must if you have not done any weight reduction. If you are running high temp pads and dont have duct expect to crack a lot of rotors.
