Introducing the NEO Motorsport Big Brake Kit

Whelp it conspired to snow so no real driving with these brakes yet beyond just the bedding and drive home.

The rotor hats are drilled for both 5x100 and 5x114.3 which is nice if I decide to go stock and move these to my WRX or something.



You can see the SS lines which were part of the kit, they came with the appropriate hardware to mount them in the OEM locations.

The stock FR-S wheels didn't appear to clear the brakes based on the template provided so I threw on some old Rotas I had from a previous car, they cleared just fine and I 'believe' but am not sure are 17x8 +48.. but not 100% sure of that offset, I can't find the original details.



So just normal driving impression since can't do any track days in this weather.

Pedal engages brakes MUCH earlier, I barely have to move it to start slowing the car.
Squeal is about as expected, it's only happened a few times and typically it was slow very light braking.
Feels very easy to modulate the brakes, in fact I'd say I was a little surprised the initial 'bite' wasn't more aggressive. Of course once you apply more pressure you start brake harder a lot sooner than on OEM. Since it was cold and I have Direzza star specs on those rims i over powered the tire pretty fast, I'll have a better idea come spring what it's really like with my new RE-11As I had on the stock wheels.

Balance feels fine for normal driving, no track impressions yet AND I still have OEM brake pads on the rears, I should move to something more aggressive before the spring next year.

Brakes were installed at Defcon Racing in Thornhill, Ontario took them a little over an hour to do the work and I was happy with how they handled the car.
It seems like a little thing but I like that they hand torqued the wheel lug nuts down with a torque wrench and didn't just brrrzp them on to 10,000lb-ft with an air tool.

Finally took the car to a track today!
Toronto Motorsports Park, I think the peak temperature was 4C (39.2F) so my tires were like hockey pucks.
Impression of the brakes, they were a huge improvement over stock, I tracked the car for 5 hours and since there were only 3 other cars I spent almost the whole time on the track at speed. No fade, no weird pedal feel, even driving home on regular roads I didn't sense anything 'different' with the brakes, (usually after a day at the track I had to apply what felt like a lot more brake on the drive home than the drive up).

Brakes felt nice and predictable and solid, it will be interesting when the temperatures warm up and I can really push them, today I was limited by the tires being so cold.

So far very pleased!
