Currently having 2pc rotors designed, saving 9 lbs per corner.
we have a 4 pc braided brake kit and a 5pc braided brake line and clutch line kit coming soon.Carbon fibre brake pads.
Our twin intake system and equal length header will be soon availiable.
We had CP racing design our 4 point strut brace which is availiable now.

We have found the combination of braided lines and the carbon fibre pads to give us an impressive gain..estimated to be 20-30%
In my 2nd gen RX7, i found the braided lines to remove all chances of brake fade under heavy braking on the track or the street.
Plus the strength of your stops are improved because all expansion has been removed.

Standard Brakes OK
You might be interested to know that the four RX-8s that just completed the Trans Am Daytona 250 Race all use the brakes that came with the car even though these cars have been otherwise heavily modified.
One of the best features of the 8 are its brakes. IMHO.

In my knowledge and my understanding .When a brake fluid boils it creates bubbles in the lines and causes moisture in the system.Everyone in the industry wants to have the highest boling point ..thus decreasing the risk of these conditions.
But hey i'm not a fluid expert:-)
