I went with the Kyosho upgraded brake rotor thinking 'this will be great'.... wasn't (but does look cool though). I now have a carbon fiber disk... to lower rotating mass. The oneway front seems to be your best friend in slowing down....just crank it into the corner and watch it corner as on rails and let the turn slow you down a little. If this were a 4 wheel drive sedan with a spool or diff in the front... high performance brakes are the ticket.
True, but you need the upgraded rotor as well as the ugraded pads...what you're really after is improved consistency in braking...not simply braking power...(I have both...upgraded disks & pads on all my cars...Spada, RR-Evo, RRR, & Evolva).
