Better to get uprated brakes before uprated performance - it keeps you from running into bushes and walls!

type S brakes are fine unless your running over 400HP

Brakes have no idea how much hp you have - they only care about how much work they need to do to slow you down from ??? mph...so if you're slowing down from high speeds all day, you need Brembos; whether you have 100hp or 1000hp. Correspondingly you don't need Brembos if your 400hp car doesn't go above 40mph cos you live in NYC (or London for that matter!).

lol. even though the price is pretty cheap it doesn't come with the Front LCAs so you have to buy those and then buy the front sway.so it'll still be over 1000 bucks to get the conversion done.

Here's the alternative...

so it's still worth it for $1000 IMO.

I'm not diagreeing with you but there are some bad things to having ITR brakes like people having a hard time to find rotors.

JDM Rotors available from King Motorsports - they do the Active Gate Braking System rotors.

not to mention you will have to buy a JDM header to clear the Sway

I'm familiar with that being that I have a DC5 with full JDM brembo setup and mugen rims. but 700 bucks for rotors is alot.
