I don't know why you would need more brake, the brakes on my car are awesome. Get a more aggressive pad and you'll be into the ABS before you know it.

I do a full engine rebuild now and mounting full preformance exhoust and doing a flash of the ECU. Cant do much more on a N/A.

Only thing left is brakes, tires and weight. Cup tires and such for tracking.

But if its enough to upgrade the pads I leave it with that.

I totally agree with Paul. Maybe stainless steel brake lines, good pads and fluid and you should be good to go. Spend your mod money on something else.

Stock pAds or OE equivalent will take you a long way - best upgrades are new high temp fluid, gt3 cooling ducts and if you are really going to the track a lot some pagid or similar race pads - but then you will have noise trade offs on the street

In other words, you have no idea what you are doing and thinking bigger must be better. The stock brakes are far supperior than 99% of the cars on the road you see everyday and more than anyone on the road would ever need.

A set of aftermarket pads will really help with brake fade. My favorite so far is Ferodo. You do get some squeal on the street though. If you want to upgrade components just go for the GT3 cooling ducts.
