I apreciate bobbysi's post, he has a better option for less money and he would know because he tried them both. As for the hfp kit I'll still say it's much better than stock but apparent one can do even better for less. As for the hfp rotors being basically the same as stock, if you held both in your hands you would know that's completely false. Secondly you need more mass in your rotors than stock if you repeatably use them or they become overheated and don't work very well.

As for geezersi, the only review in that tread read like this,"I went to college hills honda and compared the pictures real close and there is no difference between stock and hfp brakes"

I'm not looking for advice, I have brakes, they work very well for my needs, that was my opinion and the opinion of two professional drivers, while running VIR. I acknowledge there are better brakes out there and you would need them if you were doing more than 30 minute runs at VIR or had 300+ hp.
