How did I forget the Porsche Brakes in my listing, and I think the ferraris are also the same, since brembo makes them. But anyway if all these use cross drilled, how bad can they be? Make sure you get a good set and this way they won't crack or get them coated like aggressive said.

Really how many of us are really going to push the brakes hard enough to damage them.

I can understand the mishapes and mistakes but really who is pushing their car that hard?

and stan..
yes some ppl push their brakes hard...
but not on the street of course..
ive had it soooo bad that brake fade was very very noticeable.. and i ended up off the track and headed towards a wall..
so yes brakes are important..
but if u daily drive you will be fine..
and an important thing to note...
NEVER EVER GET RACING PADS ON A STREET APPLICATION... IF YOU DONT HEAT THE PADS UP YOUR STOPPING DISTANCE WILL BE SLOOPY/.

oh BTW I went to a couple Honda Boards and actually have some good things to say about them. I had mis posted on Hondastyle and the mod sent me a PM and told me about it and hopes that I stay around and post and the people generally see kinda helpful. Guess I gotta change my think about the Honda Boys and boards. But this board is my favorite no doubt !!!!

Try www.honda-tech.com. There are a lot of cool people there. Plus a lot of them are local so trash talking is not that high.
