Lmao the goal is going to be sub 40

Which manual brake setup did you do? And what's the rest of your brake setup like? I've recently done the Honed kit with a 13/16" MC and stock brakes other than pads(ST43). It feels ok testing on the street so far but I have been thinking the pedal effort will be too high for threshold braking on track.

URGE / Essex AP front, RX8 + S197 rear with Carbotech XP20. Honed kit with OE 1" MC. Pedal effort is high, but the pedal is finally consistent and predictable. I will be trying the 13/16 as well.

@@trod-s2k Were you struggling with inconsistent "boost" on track as well? That was my reason for trying manual brakes, I couldn't find others experiencing the same! Oh wow you're still on the 1", I do think the smaller MC should make a noticeable difference in relieving effort too though it will have a little more travel, I'd love to hear your follow-up. I ended up using a RHD GD Fit/Jazz 13/16" MC, which looks just like the original S2000 one once you swap the reservoir over. IIRC it was also much cheaper than the one Honed specified, though I did need to buy and bend two short $7 hard lines from auto parts stores. I can send more details through DM somewhere if its helpful.

[@trod-s2k]

@@FCustureri yes, the booster is notoriously over-boosting the pedal on the S2k and leads to inconsistent feel and my brake performance was ultimately suffering. Not a lot of owners talk about it because not a lot of them realize what is happening. Would love to get the PN so I can try it out - have the one from Honed too but if you found something better that would be worth a shot.

​@@trod-s2kSo I sent a small writeup reply an hour or so ago but it appears to have gone missing, maybe because I used links. Can I DM you somewhere?

How much hp do you gain after a polish head with cam.

[@trod-s2k]

@@setsuna_y can't really answer that as I don't have a solid baseline. The car was low on power prior to doing the work. My estimate is about 15-20whp but some of that can be from e85 by itself.

Telemetry please =)
