radial brakes zx12
Will the radial brakes from the newer zx12 fit on an 02 model? If so are they alot better or would just be better to purchase better than stock rotors? thx

im very happy with my brake setup... i recommend brembo calipers with appropriate adapter brackets, and braketech axis rotors.... might as well do the brembo master while youre at it.

I agree with the Brembo Master if you want more initial bite. However, the overall griping force of the OE calipers is more than enough when you use the right Rotor / Pad combo.
The friction generated by the Brake Tech Billet Iron rotors with CP911 pads or later offer extensive friction and stopping force!! The hotter they get, the better they work!
Since they are not an alloy, warping is not an issue.
Of course, braided lines is a must!
