Default Rotora big brake kit. Good stuff???

simple question......

Are these brakes worth the money? Is it better than stock? Does it last on the track?

You will have to run 17" rims to use those brakes - they look like rebadged Brembos.

I can lock the stock brakes with R compound tires on (which means braking performance exceeds tire grip).

No need to upgrade the Type R brakes - unless you want lighter weight imo.

Just upgrade pads and fluid instead.

I also do a lot of trackdays and the rotors don't like that.
So I'm looking for bigger brakes wich can handle the job without fading etc.

Then by all means - get a big brake kit - but be warned you get what you pay for. Stick with well known brands like Brembo or Stoptech.

My personal suggestion is NSX calipers and Legend 28 mm rotors, remove splash guards and try to duct some air into the brake area.
