Hey guys, I'm just looking for some advice/opinions on brake upgrades for the fwd bg chassis cars. I took the escort out road racing for the first time a few weeks ago, and I made it one and a half laps in, and the brakes were completely toast. Brake pedal was like a sponge and no bite at all in the brakes anymore. The escorts brakes are stock, except for some cross drilled rotors, which are more for looks than anything.
I know about the miata/wilwood front and miata sport rear brake upgrades, but those will cost a couple grand to do. I am just looking for a somewhat cheap option to allow me to do 10 or 12 laps at a time type of thing. I don't need supercar braking, but the factory brakes were killing my fun. I also brought my focus ST out to the track day, and the braking difference was ridiculous.
The setup I had in mind would be: ebc USR slotted rotors, ebc yellowstuff pads, stainless braided lines, and motul rbf600 fluid. Anyone have any experience with any of these items?
Thanks.
