Re: Big brake kit

most of the braking force is going to be done by the fronts, especially if you're tracking the car. but, if you want big brakes on the back, you'll have to first do a rear disc swap, then upgrade from there.

@sdaidoji a good pad/rotor combo should be plenty for the EM2/ES1, no?

Re: Big brake kit

Yes.
It is better to first run at a track and see what the car's weaknesses are, before starting modding the car.
Need to do at the least normal maintenance on the car, but modding, no.
I did not have issues with braking.
