waits for taurus brakes jokes
I love my wilwoods, I can honestly say it’s the best bang for the buck upgrade I could feel on the track. I am still with a stock KA with bolt ons and I intend to stay that way other than maybe nistune and some dyno tuning of the KA 
Suspension and a good brakes setup with grippy tires = so much fun on track
This car has willwoods and carbon fiber wheels, they gotta be good :D:
I’ve recently made a few damper adjustments that seem to have increased grip overall on the car… and the car brakes better too… I can’t really test it out on the street… so I can’t wait for the next upcoming track day I can catch to see how the car behaves… In the past track events I’ve attended I haven’t been able to yet fade them. So that’s all I can say. I plan to also get some r comps… so we shall see. The reason I mention the above is the fact that I have mild pads… I am not sure exactly which wilwood set of pads I received from Dave… but they are definetely street pads according to him. He said they are ‘aggressive street pads’ LOL whatever that means. Reason again I am saying this… this is with a non track dedicated set of pads… and the pads are still looking like brand new (nice and fat pad).
I want to find out what exact pads I have so I can compare to the rest of willwoods’ pad selection, but I am just trying to make a point… even with these ‘aggressive street pads’ Dave provided me I have not been able to fade the brakes on street or track. I do feel the need for some more aggressive pads a tad bit… as I feel the tires still have something left in them to take advantage of more aggressive pads on track… but I want r comps and some ducting (just in case) to really take advantage…
Saying ‘stock is enough on the street’, etc… are bullsh*t arguments in my opinion, but to each his own. I hated the stock brakes and the z32 brakes didn’t satisfy me (I was expecting a big jump from stock brakes - i went with a few different pad options and got sick of caliper rebuilds too).
Street or not… there are always better options, question is do you want to and can you afford it. That’s all. I didn’t get myself into this hobby to have a car that’s cheap or just looking nice in a parking lot. I like to drive. I got it because I like cars that go, stop and turn fast It’s an expensive hobby but that’s just the way it is. Bottom line is you get what you paid for. You have to know your goals/expectations and evaluate all the pros and cons.
When you cheap out in the long run you spend more… and if you cheap out on not getting something that you’ll want down the road you’ll end up spending more again down the road. Research, planning, patience it all pays off.
If you’re not into driving the car aggressively by all means stick with a stock 240sx or buy a brand new from the factory sports car that you don’t need to modify.
If you’re into this hobby to show others you have magical parts, you’re an idiot. I build my car for myself alone and only like to share my ideas and aspirations with like minded individuals. If you’re building your car, build it the way you want and ignore the commentaries. Take what useful information you can and make up your mind yourself. Ignore stupid internet forum criticisms and just move ahead at your own pace for your own sake.
