    Brake Upgrade Help

    Hi I have a 2jz 325e that has about 450hp and want to know what I can do to improve my braking power without buying a bbk please let me know what type of pads and rotors to get. The car will be dragged and driven on the street.

    Install brake ducts for the front rotors, use plain rotors, and race brake pads. The race pads will have poor bite when cold, will be somewhat noisy on the street, but will work well once hot. That is as good as you can get without going to a BBK. For race pads in this case I'd favor PFC 08 pads.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      I run PFC08's on the drift car, work great, just very noisy and dusty but its worth it.

          It really doesn't matter how much power the car has if you aren't going to go to a BBK. In that case you are limited to what parts can be used on the stock brake system to optimize what it can do.
