the only reason I ask is because my brother drives his RSX-S, and I am sure with the SC along with my engine mods I could smoke his car easy.
he just assumes i am a newb and cant lunch properly.
he will be right for the most part. adding power like what the pw kit delivers will require to basicly re-learn how to launch the car as you will be able to roast your tires much much easier.
I was thinking of upgrading only the rotors to slotted or combination driled.. but in the end upgrading brakes would be basically for track use and if i am stopping at higher speeds than normal correct? guarantee I wont be pushing 100km on any given street, unless its the highway but then I actually pay attention to stopping distances and downshift accordingly without using the brakes.
sloted/ drilled rotors are for looks, not for stopping. unless you are actually seriously racing a car, slotting and drilling actually hurts stopping. solid rotors and quality pads is your best bet. upgrading your brakes is never a bad idea, a good upgrade for the additional power would be to get your hands on a set of SVT brakes.
my transmission is fine, except I have the 3rd gear synchro problem, but whenever you are racing if you double clutch 3rd gear is 100% fine.
this may or may not be a problem. sooner or later you are going to need to address this but it should not have an effect on the ability of the tranny to hold power.
