The more I look at my new wheels, the smaller my brakes look. So I'm going to upgrade them. The motivating factor is admittedly cosmetic, but since I'm going to be buying something, it might as well be an upgrade, right?
My main questions are:
-Is there a 4-wheel upgrade out there that will upgrade the discs only? I know there are manufacturers of discs for the NSX, but I couldn't find any sold as a "kit" that include the required caliper relocation brackets.
-Should I just make a bigger investment and get a complete brake upgrade kit that includes new calipers too? I've got some folks who can get me nice discounts on Comptech parts, so price isn't (as much of) a concern (as it could be for CT parts).
-Should I go mid-line and get something along the lines of SoS's AP KVR kit? My only concern with this option is that it's more than half-way towards what I can get the CT kit for and it hasn't received nearly as many kudos as the CT kit based on my search of Prime.
-Is there another option I'm overlooking?
I know this question is coming, so I'll do my best to answer it:
Q: What is the goal? What is the "purpose" for your car?
A: It's 99% street car that will start seeing the track a couple of times a year (Infineon and other local tracks, probably as far as Willow Springs). I want the brakes to add to the visual appeal of the car with the secondary yet almost as important goal of improving braking capability. I know that any brake upgrade I buy will be overkill for my skill level (the stock brakes are already overkill for my skill level :redface: ) but I just can't stand the look of the wee, tiny little brakes inside my rims :tongue:
