Im currently running ATE powerslots up front with stock rear rotors and Axxis Ultimate pads. Ive got stainless lines waiting to go in this spring as well as the 25mm master cylinder and some SuperBlue fluid.

Even without the lines and MC the car brakes awesome. When I first drive the car in the morning the pads need a stop or two to warm up but after that they reign the car in like crazy.

Ducting would be a good idea but a BBK is overkill.  

As far as pads go. OE Pagid or Jurid pads have great bite and resist fade very well.  The only downside is that they dust like crazy and may squeek a bit.

Mintex pads dust much less but the stopping grip is about 1/2 step down from OE.

Hawk HPS are my favorite street pads period.  They dust very little and no squeeking at all.


Would Hawk HPS up front make up for the Mintex Reds in the rear then? I'm thinking about doing this. Stock brembo rotors.

yes, I ran that setup for a while until I melted the Mintex on the track.

They were great on the street.
