I have an ej8 and i'm looking to upgrade the brake system, but still have a streetable system.

I have 16inch Rota Grids and G/C coilovers as well as other suspension mods. It's 70% DD and 30% weekend Auto-X car.

Just wanted some opinions from those have purchased from them as to how good of a quality they are. Thanks

 

I think most if not all big brake kits are pretty streetable...

 

just upgrade your rotors and pads to brembo blanks and hawk pads...with steel brake lines...and do the rear disc conversion like i am doing...you should be set...theres really no need for a big brake it...but hey thats just my opinion....

 

well, true, but i just wanted some opinions on what they bought and any troubles (if any) they've had. Seeing that i'm going to purchasing a kit but i'm not sure exactly which one. (and yes i've searched thru the 7+ pages)

 

I was thinking of that, but doesn' t the front dive down during hard braking, even with the rear discs?

I was looking more towards a balanced setup, that's why i was considering a kit...

well if your going for the big brake kit then go with wilwood...i see alot of people have them and most are pretty satisfied...get some si/gsr rear disc brakes...when you do your rear discs do the ep3 rotor/ caliper upgrade...then its a straight up bolt on...i'm going to do this upgrade on my EJ8...dont waste money on the rear discs...keep them oem...

All do not include dust seals though.

 

I'm not really looking for a "big brake kit". I want to keep it around 11". I never thought of the ep3 rear discs, i was simply thinking of NSX calipers.

Also, whatever I do has to be able to stand up to 3-4 months of winter weather, salt and cinders (yes, they throw friggin stones and sand on the ground.... )

I've got rear drums and am pretty hard on the brakes at times. After adjusting my rear drums the car feels balanced and doesn't dive down at all. The coilovers help with that though.
