As we all know the stock si brake suck. They maybe fine for normal street driving or one time use at speed but thats it. Well i upgraded to the hfp kit from college hiils honda for 550$. I'm here to report after 320 mile at max speed at VIR the HFP kit was very good and the comments of the instructors who drove and evaluted my setup was that the brakes functioned really well. There was only slight loss of brake performance by the end of the 30 minute run. Longer stints on the track >45 minutes would probably require brembos because my rotors were up to 800 degrees f.
