Nice avatar 636racer. I'm not gonna ask what state of "happiness" she was in when you took the pic

As for tires, I have the nitto tires, they have pretty good grip here on the warm san diego roads. I just wanted to get something comparable to my brembos.

Sadly, its not me who's giving it . It's just some pic I found a while back. Just decided to use it

I havent had any experience with any of the Project Mu stuff. I know a few drifters that do and they like them. What you should be looking at is what you're intentions are.

If you're into pure sports and just an enthusiats, looking for a good replacement; of the two choices...I'd go for the NS. But if you're looking into doing some auto-x here and there...the go for the B-force. In either case, I'd want the more agressive one for both street, spirited, and auto-x - the B-Force.

Very cool.

I think B-force it is then. Although I just had a chance to look at the Porterfield brakes. They seem to be pretty nice pads, but about twice the cost (at least for the front side.) Maybe if I do the pad replacement myself and save some money, I can then put it towards the pads instead...

I do a fair number of HPDE days each year and have been using EBC Yellows in stock Brembos with EBC rotors. They need to be heated up REALLY well once, to bed in, and then they work better than probably any other pad in the $100 price range. In the cooler NE weather they need a little more pedal pressure when cold, but warm quickly, don't squeal and leave virtually no dust. HP + make tons of noise, tons of dust and cost too much. And they wear well too.
