Good article on improving braking
http://www.teamscr.com/grmbrakes.htm
I know, I know, it's a Saturn site... but their cars are kinda similar to ours. 'Bout the same weight, brakes 'bout the same size, less of a "slap some bolt-ons on the car and go" mentality in the owners...
- PJ (yeah, thinkin' 'bout gettin' me a '95 SL2...)

The only words you need to know about improving braking on an FB are the following words:
Hawk HP+.
It's actually too easy to lock up now, it'll make you want even better tires.

I've seen them saturn guys tweak some good numbers from thier blocks, so 200 should be no problem from the V6 
But i'd never be able to figure out what to do with 2 more sparkplug wires. hehe

Go 80-90mph, apply the brakes with both feet... WHOOOOOMPH. And I still have stock brakes and "unknown" pads. (The first thing I discovered is that I now had to go really really fast to skitter around corners, like 25mph rated on-ramps at 75-80mph...
Also not as fun as my Goodyear bagels, but hey, if you want to chase down 911's on the track you need good rubber. Surprisingly, the tires would go off before the brakes did! Maybe it was because of my throwing the car around and skittering thru corners... 
)As for the OT-ness... nearly bought an SL2 in '96, if I did that I'd have just finished paying it off and I'd never have had my, uh, menagerie of cars.
So, really, I've been into "those cars" long before I got into RX-7's. Or Subies for that matter, but at least I've had a couple samples of both...
