Brakes
Brake are a from the most critical component of your NSX.
Upgrading these properly will not only improve safety but also improve your track times.
Please keep in mind, brake upgrades should always aim for a balanced bias setup.
Common questions,
Which style brake rotor/disc? | Upgrading brakes, which steps? | Better ABS?
Drilled versus Slotted which is better?
We always recommend slotted as these are stronger and more stable.
Drilled rotors often form hairline cracks over time.
