Although the Honda S2000 is one of our favorite all time cars, one of the parts we like the least about the car is the brake system. Although they are perfectly adequate for street duty, the stock brakes do not match the excellent handling ability of the car and are not up to snuff for track day use. S2000s that are tracked heavily, especially on non-staggered setups running 245 or 255 width front tires, are prone to cracking front rotors. The added traction from the wider front tires means more braking power and therefore more heat the front brakes must dissipate. This added heat is simply beyond the capacity of the stock brakes’ design, leading to oft cracked rotors.
