k i want better braking
but DO not want to do brake caliper up grades for many reason
-bigger caliper means I can't run as low of an off set on wheels
-bigger rotor means I can't run my 14" steelies in winter
so the only options I got are up grading brake pads and to slotted rotors
my question is what's a powerful brake pads and rotor for me
It is a daily driver 100% of the
time but I drive on the street like its on the track


Help me pick thx

 

im going with the Fast Brakes BBK on the fronts
and Fast Brakes rear disk conversion on the rears

$2000 total not bad deal

 

I use Ferodo DS2500 front pads & power slot slotted rotors for street/lapping days. Went to Mission with it & I can late brake into turn1. This should be a good upgrade for u if u don't wanna upgrade the front calipers.

 

Ferodo, Performance Friction or Endless. All damn good pads.

 

I would get the rear coversion from A n J first before doing the front ones. After I got mine I found the difference rite away. Now, just waiting for Ben to try the 12" Spoon set up, without switching wheels.

 

some of the pads suggested here are fantastic, but not exactly cheap.


if you want to keep it simple:

gets some hawk pads, and some brembo slotted rotors (about 75 bucks for a pair on tirerack.com)

bam, your braking is improved significantly. hell you could just buy new stock pads and get the brembos and still be better off than stock.

felix your car has a massive amount of mods...i'm suprised you waited this long to do the brakes lol.

 

What kinda Hawk pads are u talking about though eldaino?

 

what i suggest is:
front brembo plain
hawk hps or better
strainless brakeline
dot 4 oil

i think you'll be okay, its my setup and i do track.

 

btw; dont buy crossdrilled rotor, its junk and it crack between holes when the rotor is warm

 

Stainless Steel brakelines might be added to my list of to-do mods. Do you think it'll make a big difference on a DD? Found these on AJR, not sure what other ones are out there.

A&J Racing :: Brakes :: Brake Lines :: T1R Stainless braided Brake Lines - Honda Fit/Jazz 06-08 (GD3/GD4)

 

If u do go lapping events/live further down south which weather is much warmer, stainless steel brake line will help.

 

I have the same one. The pedal feeling will be better.

 

good info here thx !!

 

my pleasure!

im looking to fit a type e master/booster

 

the hps ones curse mentioned.

 

anyone tried EBC brake rotors ? they have so many different kinds....which is suggested for me ?


$150usd for 2

 

^^ive heard good and bad things about those. Cant go wrong with brembo though

 

brembo slotted are what ill be getting.

 

I put on the StopTech slotted rotors and found them to be great.

As you can see, you can get them, drilled, slotted or both. I got the slotted ones.

This was a big improvement, but I still need more. So I'm installing 282-mm X 25-mm rotors with Acura Integra Type-R calipers. My 15" snow shoos will fit over this setup. Stock is 262-mm X 21-mm, by the way. I will be using Axxis ULT pads. This will all happen tomorrow...I'll post my install with P/Ns in a new thread.
