4.44 final gear

intake , header ,test pipe , exhaust.

KW v3

255/40/17 square set up with 17x9 45 rpf1

Bros ms gt wing

mods are not so crazy it's almost close to stock except the few bolt ons.

i have tried so many brake pads and rotor combo and all failed.

Didn't last for more than a 5-6 hot laps and overheat.(pads)

HP+, dtc 70, carbotech xp12 , bros ms race pads and rotors , DBA rotors ,stoptech rotors, brembo rotors oem rotors.

all the rotors seems like it over heats crazy and i see the pads easily overheat after full 5 hot lap.

i have 3" brake duct as well and it helped little but not much.

is this the max potential for the stock calipers and rotor size?

i have cracked almost 6 pairs of rotors last year and more than 6 pairs of pads.(cooked)..and now i am thinking of buying spoon caliper or stoptech 328mm bbk

Can anyone help me solution for the brake set up?

spoon caliper vs stoptech which would be cost effective + performance effective

i have 5 more pads and rotors set for the stock size so would it be better to go with spoon since they can fit the stock size ?

or forget about all stock sizing overheating and go with stoptech bbk? what kind of pads choice do i have with stoptech bbk ? other than 309 from stoptech ? 328mm bbk is 309 pads are the best pads i can use?

my goal is to shave 1-2 more sec with bbk upgrade @ cayuga track @ ontario canada which would be more effective?

please help !

Thanks

The total cost (rotors + calipers + ss lines) came to about $1000. The system has been very reliable and my brake pads are lasting about 80-90% longer than with the stock calipers. RacingBrake does sell a BBK complete with 12.8 inch x 1.1 rotors, calipers, ss lines and brake pads for $2000. I'm not familiar enough with the other BBKs to make a recommendation.
