if you haven't upgraded your stock braking system considerably, you can't plan on even going half throttle down a straight.

pads? carbotech xp9
fluid? ate super blue
ss lines? goodrich
rubber? best you can afford... do azenis fit? hankook z212?

xp9? You'll need xp10's.... or their new super magic not advertised yet XP11's Confusedhock:

fluid - get motul. pick it up at any bike store in the area.

rotors - cheapest you can find.

lines - stoptech

This thing with all the power is going to be one nasty understeering bitch, so you're going to have to learn very careful control of the loud pedal, which may be hard with a turbo.

I am kind of scared about this. But I'm just assuming I'll spend the entire time not going fast on the straights and concentrate on the turning and braking which I'm pretty sure I suck at.

Are these pads something I can run on the street or are they track only?

I havn't weighed it anytime recentely. I always wanted to. 3300 or less with me in it is my best guess.

yeah xp10 might be a better choice. that is some hella weight for a fwd car Tongue

you're right, turns are where you're going to suck. that is where everyone sucks. anyone can do a straightaway correctly Tongue i've been on track with countless high powered cars that don't seem to pull on me on the straights. i ask the drivers why? they always say there is no point in putting it to the floor cause it'll just eat their brakes. we're not racing so lap times don't matter... ya know?
