you can only get the 3pc ccws in 17" and if budget is a concern get 4 ap2 rear wheels.

that was probably what i was goin to do. but at some point i may upgrade to the spoon calipers up front. but thats way down the road.

I love people who claim to have no $ for tires and shit and then in the next breath claim to be planning to buy something expensive that they likely don't need at all.



Stock brakes work very well.

My 18x9 and 18x10 CCW's classics came in around 20lbs each. I'm using 245/45's and 275/35's

I didn't rub anything on completely stock fenders/quarters at the last AutoX. I'm sure the front fender clips will be gone over bumps while turning though. there is room for more tire in the rear if you move the bumper screw and take out the inner lip of the quarter panel.

its not that i dont have money for tires(cuz i do) i just cant be spending $300 a tire for as many times as i go to the track.

and i agree the stock brakes work great i know, but it was just a thought.

i know a thing or two about stock brakes, as it say in my sig i have to full out race cars. BTW the Rx-7 has great brakes with Hawk blue's thing stops amazing.

i think my next set of pads for the s are goin to be carbotech xp12 up front and xp10 in the rear.


thanks for the advice on the stock brakes.

XP 12s do not seem to hold up well on the S2000 for some reason. I have had better luck with XP10s and XP8s. I don't know what this should be but a couple of my buddies with S2000s have experienced the same thing.

And much like the suspension, there is always room for improvement.

not at all, why don't you try with some facts to backup your statement.

please share w/ me how bbks are a requirement and if you're racing on budget you should be saving up for one. While you're at it please explain how they're better than stock.

I've done the other many times over in here.
