Ohh leave me alone. I've been at work 11.5 hours, taken 47 phone calls, opened 16 trouble tickets, and been screamed at nine times today.

(<--- yeah, right)

Hi all,

The S2000 needs brake ducting, not bigger front brakes. The stock brakes are powerful enough with the proper modifications- aftermarket performance lines, fluid, pads, and ducting.

You can spend the $2900 more wisely on other areas the car really needs, like a shock/spring set...

Actually, they are not just often but always, if you exclude the poor brits that like to do it their own way... Driving on the wrong side of the road, talking about decimal points, drinking beer in pints, refilling in gallons, et cetera.

to GTRPOWER;As stated in my first post;I will repeat myself;the stock brakes are very good.
You can upgrade them as you said with pads,
performance lines,ducting etc but they will never match this kit.I am not only saying that just to sell it(maybe you might had thought so)
I am so sure of what I stated that we offer a refund if not satisfied.Stopping power
differences and comparo will be available around January when I will install this kit on my personal car.Manufacturer too busy to bother with my requests.

I agree with you also that if you have to decide between brakes or suspension upgrades
you might decide for the suspensions.Right or wrong is not me to decide,people has different ideas of what they need from their cars,you will find somebody spending 5k dollars in stereo upgrade,others spending 6k in wheels and tires etc etc
sorry for my English.

I think I'll pass on $3k for two feet. The stook stops from 60 mph in 113 feet. The Boxster S does it in 111. Is that really significant? I don't think so.
