The Reilly Racing RX-S197 Rear Brake Upgrade Kit is the perfect solution for the overheating, fast-wearing rear brakes on the S2000. This is the only rear brake kit for the S2000 that provides a drastic increase in heat disipation, with a minimal change in brake bias (less than 3%) AND the abilty to choose consumables from literally hundreds of sources. During the lengthly development and testing of this kit, the goal was to:
- Retain the S2000 OEM parking brake
- Use an OE-supplied VENTED 300mm rotor with a wide range of aftermarket options
- Use an OE-supplied caliper with a piston similar to the S2000 that requires no modification
- Improve the suitability of a street-oriented pad in an HPDE enviornment, and/or reduce brake temperature in more agressive setups.
What the kit includes:
- Caliper Bracket Adpater - Mates Mazda RX8 rear caliper to S2000 rear spindle
- Parking Brake Cable Adapter - Allows the RX8 parking brake mechanism to be actuated by the S2000 OEM parking brake cable.
- Hubcentric Rotor Ring - Centers the new rotor on the hub.
