I'm new to S2Ks. Looking to upgrade the brakes. I'd pay for brembos if they would fit, but I don't think they fit.

 

For what?
Street?
Track?
Auto-X?
all 3?

 

You have to be more specific with your question, there's no such thing as the "best breaks".

Judging from this question I think it's safe to assume you're not tracking your car.

Regardless most people including me get away with running:
1. decent pad (axxis ult, hawk hp+ etc. for the street)
2. blank rotors (skip the slotted and drilled ****)
3. good dot4 fluid (ate, motul)
4. ss lines.

But if your looking for the bling effect no bbk will fit behind your stock wheels.

 

Yea thx. I was actually just thinking about a bbk. Good to know.

 

Why spend the money? Good set of pad will do fine for our car.

Street:
cross drill and slot for OEM pad. just for look.

Track:
Cobalt Friction pad XR-2 front, XR-4 rear
OEM rotors

 

Not sure how much of a BBK you can really fit on 16" wheels, but while pads help they won't fix the fade that tends to occur after several hot laps.

P.S. - factory brakes are also missing a look cool factor....which is one of the few things that aren't awesome about the car from the factory.

 

Maybe I should just work on getting some AP2 wheels and then fit on bbk.

 

Maybe you should do some more research?

bbk wont fit under stock offsets.

 

Ok then

 

Wrong. The S2000 has excellent brakes. Good pads will make it fade free until you get MUCH more power in it.

 

^x2 decent pads will crack the rotor b4 they fade

 

I couldn't believe how much difference it made just getting fresh fluid in before race day. Fade came way later. I'm stock all the way, and 'race' once every couple of months or so.

 

I went to Road America 8 days after buying the car. Stock brake pads are terrible lol. That was the first and last time I used stock pads for the track.

OEM Rotors, racing pad, fresh Ate fluid, brake duct. Never fade on the track.
