Actually the 17" RE050's are a bit cheaper than the 16" S-02's

Yes, but there are many 16" R options that are cheaper than S02's

actually, you do....but you're not stopping enough.
But I'm not stopping enough because I'm not using the OEM brakes to their full potential.

a BBK would make me lazy

Ok, it's not the track but I've been hitting ABS with the stock brakes almost every time I brake at auto-x. The brakes are damn good stock. a BBK would rip my eyes out

i guess....

from what i could tell riding with you for 10 laps...you're on the brakes for a long time...but you're not applying nearly enough pressure.

or at least that was my observation...

you were braking at the 200....that's a LONG way away from the the turn-in of corner 1 - even on bone stock brakes.

same deal at the entry of the hairpin.....

The limit seems to be the tires for me, not brakes. Don't know about Steely.
