help!

i am working on putting a ls2 with a stroker kit in rx7 and i was wondering what i would need to do brakewise and strut,coil wise to beef up the suspension. for the struts and coils i am looking for adjustable ones and for the brakes something capable of stopping 520-530hp.

The car weighs the same no matter what power your engine is putting out. So unless you're on a track, you'll probably never approach the limits of a well-conditioned stock brake system.

That said, I believe your brakes have to be in tip-top shape. I suggest a good street/performance pad. Hawk HP+'s work well for me but the dust is pretty nasty especially if you have a nice set of wheels. Don't use a high performance track pad or you'll find yourself unable to stop when they're cold. Use a good set of rotors, drills, slots, blanks, whatever. Above all, check your brake lines (replace if they're old) and flush the system thoroughly with a good brake fluid. I like ATE Superblue.
