I won't be doing anything crazy. Perhaps some wilwoods, but I'm probably going to invest in fluid, pads, and slotted rotors before upgrading further. The stock brakes never faded once on the track today. I could smell them occasionally, but I feel like a compound change would do wonders for the performance.
The brakes don't get pushed very hard at this altitude. My 165whp uncorrected would be around 130whp. My last car saw a Brembo upgrade, and it was awesome. But to be honest, the price is absurd on some of these setups. I can buy Brembos for a sentra brand new from the dealer for $200 each, and rotors are only $30. That setup withstood 350whp with Autozone DLG pads on the track. The SR would overheat before the brakes. Long story short, I don't need a crazy circuit-racing setup. I will upgrade in the future should the need arise though! |

Oh yeah, and one more thing! Talking to your buddy in the stands via bluetooth while racing... LIKE A BOSS. Ah, the things you can do with tech in these new cars...
