I would normally say just tighten the bolts, and go race, but in your case you may need to upgrade the brakes. What does the car have on it right now?
AutoX won't overheat your brakes, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to autoX a 600HP car.
OK, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff so feel free to talk to me like one.
I have the stock brakes on my 90. I know I'll have to upgrade. The reason I haven't yet is two fold. 1. cost, about $1200, and 2. I don't know if the new calipers will fit under my stock rims. I'd like to keep the stock rims, to keep the stock look. If I have to get rims when I do brakes, probably means I need tires, then it's money money money...
Now, as to the comment "AutoX won't overheat your brakes, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to autoX a 600HP car" can you explain why you say that.
