If you want to track seriously, then the Racing Brake kit is an option.

We have plenty of brake data on the FD depending on what you are doing with the car.

I'm all ears

My requirement is I (due to the rareness of my car) want to keep the original BBS 17" wheels (I have 2 sets of these wheels) and whatever upgrade I pick fits within these curved spokes.

If people would like to post up the alternatives they offer that would be great. I can change the thread title too

The other thing for me *may not be the case for others* is I don't want to change the brake balance as my car came fitted with the larger spec brakes as stated. My car is a road car that gets taken to the track, I am very hard on brakes so despite it not being a "race car" I want the best system that I can fit within this wheel that will take race car type loads. Sustained 1.1 to 1.3G deceleration on high performance road legal tires is what I am after, my car has around 450bhp and 3000lb mass, and it does 140mph on most decent tracks so there is quite a bit of energy that needs to be converted to heat

I have a magazine article here of the FEED RX7 in Japan and they simply run an aftermarket front rotor and rear rotor using the original Mazda calipers and their own branded brake pads (obviously made by large brake company) I need to look more into it but the rotor looks like a Project Mu pro SCR with a custom anodized alloy hat front and back.
