I had my first experience at a track recently and it was a blast! I expect that I will try and make it back about four times a year or so. I love my completely stock '95 NSX-T but the one real weakness that I noticed in daily street driving was the braking power. On the track, my OEM brakes performed even worse with a noticeable amount of fade and shutter. Not much is left on the pads and the rotors are now slightly warped.
My question:
What are the brake upgrade kits that are compatible with my stock 16/17 inch wheels and which ones do you prefer?
Specifically, I am not interested in purchasing new wheels or adding spacers, etc. I want to upgrade to at least 4 piston front calipers and better rotors and pads all around.
I have read through the FAQ as well as all of the old topics in the Forum. I have also checked out the RM Racing, SOS, and Dali R websites. Unfortunately, it is not completely clear to me which kits do not require some other modifications. I know that the Brembo Big Brake kit does require other modifications while it appears that the RM Racing AP/KVR kit does not. The feedback on RM kit seems to be good but what other options are out there (not interested in upgrading to the '97 OEM setup).
Street performance is key but I need something that will hold up well at the few track events that I will attend throughout the year. My NSX is primarily a weekend driver on which I put about a 6k miles a year.
Your opinions would be much appreciated!
