Default It will likely be only marginally better at cooling than stock. Many hate the Red Box pads.

What are your goals for modding the brakes?

Default well i am looking for better street braking and i plan on doing some track events this coming spring

and summer. I am looking to spend around 1000. The car will still see 99% street to 1% track but i am willing to give up some streetability to have more fun on the track. I guess you can say I want the vogtlang coilovers or brakes.

Default Then if I were you, I'd spend $1000 on a used BBK instead.

Red Boxes won't last at the track, and simply slotted rotors won't cool enough. You'll end up wishing you bought a BBK after just a few track events.

Default imo, thats a good idea no matter what.

a used set of stoptechs is inexpensive enough to make anything less kinda pointless
