The only worthwhile upgrades on the rotors would be larger diameter and/or lighter (aluminum hat rigidly mounted to iron disc would be useful for reducing unsprung weight), in my opinion.



crossdrilling and slotting are more for appearance than anything.

You can run stock parts, if you dont want to run fast lap times. Trust me stock pads on stock rotors will fade very fast on a track. [/quote]

they win enduros with the car. better pads would help their laptimes though

You're saying that some guy goes to the dealer and ask for stock pads for his race car?

When he could be running performance pads for about the same price?

SS brake lines are a good upgrade.

hawk HPS or HP+



brembo blanks or mazda OEM rotors

New master cylinder



that is what you need



plus rebuiliding 13+ year old calipers is always a good idea

I think I am stepping in the BS now.

With 7000+ posts I would think that you would be able to elaborate a little more.
