), and a 1.80m person can sit behind rather comfortably. You're not giving proper props to the 8 
As for the brakes, I agree with Razz too. SS lines, .5 fluids, and 0-400degrees pads is all we need, even for hot track days....

Sig images are a MAX of 20K. Read the forum rules in the FAQ section.

That's a real shame, Dominion. I miss your video sigs.

there is no R&T article, they are using the car reviews and basing it off of that.

But a '69 Lincoln stops better than an RX-8...

I've improved my braking performance even more, I'm sure of it. My mod is realitively easy but I think I have to do a third coat of caliper paint on the left brakes because my car pulls to the right when I brake hard.
I used Rustoleum BBQ paint, I swear by the stuff! 60-0 distances have improved significantly.
