I’ve been told by some very experienced S2000 drivers that this is the best braking setup outside of a BBK. It’s streetable as well, if you don’t mind a bit squeaking. Make sure to burnish/bed the pads in beforehand for better performance.
I ran stock rotors for a long time with carbotech xp10/8, front brake ducts, stainless lines, and Motul 660. The XP10/8 + ducts was sufficient for 20min session the tracks I drive.
I have R1 concepts from Amazon, perfect for the car and stopping power.
You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.
I put on new oem front rotors and Akebono ceramic pads and it’s like im driving a different car. No more sloshing noise in the morning and almost no dust on my wheels. Those oem pads are trash, for 100$ the Akebonos are fantastic.
Centric Premium is my preferred brand, I have used them for years and they don’t warp.
I used the Wagner QuickStop. They were affordable and have been fine so far
Sometimes those alternatives work like K&N air filters or EBC brake pads for street use.
I'm kind of disappointed with the factory VW pads that came with my 2019. My 2013 ran for 120K before the brakes needed replacement. Also, these pads leave a lot of brake dust on the side of the car.
If that quote is just for pads, it's not a ripoff. it's criminal!!! Do yourself a favor and buy powerstop, install them yourself, and save a fortune. Scat brakes are ridiculously easy to work on.
