One 200kph stop you will have brake fade on the S13

I am running the Z32 calipers all round with bigger disks and ebc yellows. S13 setup doesnt get rid of the heat with the tiny disks.

Std S13 fronts are 1 pot with 280x22mm disks vs std Z32/S14 4 pot with 280x30mm disks. I got 320x30mm disks.

Must say i am quiet happy with the brake upgrade even with the extra weight from the RB. After a trackday i can tell you if it really was worth it.

Way too much to re post..Just some of the stuff I have done on a shoe string budget over the years..

The best bang for buck is the Audi B7 Turbo discs and calipers for around a grand used..Not as fancy or good looking but incredibly effective..
