The circuit in refernce to is the outer high speed ring (denoted in RED)
typical speed is about 60mph. Turns 8 and 9 are banked, and full out throttle, exiting at about 90mph, into the 2 gear downshift chicane. Thats about the heaviest braking on the course, go from about 95 to 45. I need a streetable brake setup, that suits this course as well. I was thinking stock rotors, with some type of pad, hawk, carbotech, etc etc not sure. And stainless steel lines, with ATE Super Blue brake fluid. any comments, suggestions, etc.. would be appreciated
right now, i have brembo crossdrilled (warped) and stillen metal matrix pads, with fresh OEM honda fluid.

Look at the scale - it's a pretty small course. You'd probably be fine with factory everything, but my $.02 on pads is to go with Hawk HP-Plus, Porterfield R-4S, or something by Carbotech or Cobalt. Check http://www.nipponpower.com for Hawk pads.
Hawk HP+ wont do it.....How do I know? I smoked mine totally last time I was out there. Also dont forget turn 1 and 3 require some heavy braking as well. Keep also into consideration that my car is supercharged and the speeds are relatively higher than stock(considering you own N/A Honda). My plan for next year was Hawk Blues and Autozone rotors with Mobil Synt Fluid.
