Nsxtasy...I have to disagree.
For those of us track junkies out here the stock NSX brakes just don't cut it.

I personally have cracked several OEM rotors at the racetrack using both OEM non-OEM pads.

I've literally melted OEM NSX pads to the point where they were leaving grey streaks of melted pad material on the rotor itself. These were bedded in properly, (which is CRITICAL to pad longevity and performance).

I've run MOTUL brake fluid on the stock system and generated enough heat that it boiled in 1 track session (15 minutes).

This is all on the OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE010 tire. If I had run on tires like the Toyo RA1's or a like tire, the brake overheaating would have become even more severe.

The stock NSX brake system is *not* enough. Period.
(At least for me)
