any suggestions?
BBKs are cool and there's no real substitute if you need one, but they're hardly the first thing you should do on an RX-8. My first step would be alignment, then lightweight wheels with good tires, then anti-roll bars. Then lots and lots of seat time.

Have any of you guys experienced brake fade with the OEM brakes?

Rotora makes a 6 pot front and a 4 pot rear for about 4200.00 shipped. The only bad thing is it deletes your e-brake!
