All braces are a waste of money for our cars, unless you plan to race in a class that doesn't allow roll cages but does allow r comp tires and a full race suspension set up. At which point, you would really need to spend 2gs on all the bracing out there to even notice a difference. Sorry to burst your bubble. Spend the money on stickier tires.

+1 On my EJ coupe the only time I felt anything was on the track. Tires will make a way bigger difference. If you absolutely must have one then get GT Spec.

thx guys. i was debating on that or getting the russel braided break lines and sloted brembo rotors with some hawk pads.. will the braided clutch line do anything at all?

***Sirbelch*** · 05-15-2008, 01:28 AM

Your brake answers are here Brake options. The clutch line will just improve feel, same for brake lines.

What do you plan to do with your car?

Better tires are the solution to stopping faster

TrueSpeed · 05-15-2008, 01:41 AM

i already have some Yokohama avans on some drags, so tires im fine.. well just daily driver but i use the wheels to go to the track.. want to eventually go turbo.. i just a lil more power want to see what i can do besides camshafts and reflash.. nst pulleys on the way..

***Sirbelch*** · 05-15-2008, 01:51 AM

You'll be fine with some good street pads and better fluid. No point it getting the BBK unless you want the bling.

TrueSpeed · 05-15-2008, 03:04 AM

so the slotted rotors wont do much difference? i was told it would with better with brake lines and good fluid and some pads..
