Ok so to answer your questions:

The brake pedal did get higher and stiffer with the type R MC.
The brake pads are much more aggressive than the oem under hard braking and track days.
The brake pads are not as good as the OEM when your driving in the city as they need to get hot to hold with slow speed stops, but pushing the pedal a little more helps.

Option:
If your not tracking your car or don't go for sprint drives then OEM is the best, otherwise HPS is the start when looking for something more than stock.

The SS brake lines is not an option rite now as I don't want the pedal to stiff, when on track its good to have a little play so you can moderate the braking force with out activating the ABS.

I have HPS pads and i find them to be just like OEM, under hard breaking or not... unless u comparing them to real cheap rubbish pads...

but was the money spent to upgrade the braking system on your car worth it?

and i long to see this "beast" this sti7 speaking about yes

It has some more bite than OEM under hard braking. I had OEM before. Took her to maracas yesterday and didn't have to push on the pedal so much for her to slow down. I was smiling ear to ear.

Thinking about a flywheel upgrade. What do you guys think?

Very good idea

FLywheel will make the car more jerky on the street as it'll spin down faster between shifts.... it's a personal preference mod IMO.

As far as the pedal travel, that's all the ITR cylinder... pads wouldn't affect it. Reminds me, I need to get a 1" MC.

how did the radiator work ?

i installed a mitsumoto rad when doing normal driving gauge reads half when on the hi way running gauge goes down less than 1/4 excellent cooling

Hows yours compared ?

Conrad · Postby **Conrad** » April 20th, 2013, 8:47 am

Low temp isn't always better and stock clusters aren't the most accurate means of measurement.
