[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064702371, member: 2429"] There's no such thing as overkill for brakes. Unless you're looking at 6-pot or 10-pot calipers, then yeah. But if the car weight justifies the brakes, then it's not overkill bro. My paltry Nissan Sylphy barely had 130hp on wheel and it was CVT auto. I initially used the R32 4-pots and it helped my braking a lot. Just that the pedals were too low and that bothered me a lot. I eventually swapped to AP Racing R 5000 calipers, ultra lightweight, small oil reservoir inside the caliper, staggered pistons (2 big 2 small pistons) meaning the braking was very easily modulated, it made the car so easy to drive. It even poisoned the new owner of my ex-car but I wasn't willing to part with the brakes yet. Keeping it for future use. If your car is heavy, 4-pot upgrades are a good idea regardless of power. Steel braided hoses will improve brake pedal feel. Good fluids will help but probably won't be obvious unless you're a heavy footer/track goer. I cooked my DOT4 Bosch brake fluid sometime ago in my earlier ex-car and had to stop the car by the side of the road to get back my brakes (it totally sunk the pedal all the way in). After swapping to better fluids and DOT5.1, I didn't have anymore boiling issues. If you can afford EBC, you can't go wrong with EBC. Otherwise there's Ultrex and lots of good pad brands you can go with. Ferodo racing NOT RECOMMENDED though. Dry (regardless cold or hot) grip awesome, once it's wet there's almost no grip. Ferodo Zero is nice though but aren't performance pads. [/QUOTE]
