I keep going back and forth on this and just wanting some opinions.I currently have a set of r34 (im pretty sure) sumitomos on my stagea rs4 daily/street hooning car that's mostly stock. They're nice and quiet with decent stopping power but I have felt them fade a bit doing some spirited driving coming down the mountain.
recently I found a full set of z33 brembos with stock pads, rotors, and lines for a really good deal and picked them up.
Is it worth swapping to the brembos or should I sell them and buy slotted rotors, better pads, steel lines and fresh seal kit for the sumitomos? Wanting to get around 450hp with some light track use in the future.

Oh alright so you basically have to make your own loom for R and N and run it from the side of the manual box to the front?

Do you know what the difference is between auto and manual loom?

Alright I’ll hook the battery back up and try that luckily haven’t taken the shifter out yet. Thanks

Started the manual swap this morning, I’ve noticed every forum and video the trans loom has 4 plugs under the battery as in the picture shown
I got into mine and it seems to only have 2 plugs.
I think s1 autos might have 4 and s2 have 2. Any info on what needs to be cut or looped for the reverse lights, neutral and inhibitor switch etc would be appreciated or if anyone that’s done the swap knows.
Also just wanted to know if I’m supposed to have a manual loom or starter loom or something? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times but not sure if it’s needed as my trans didn’t come with a loom. TIA

The fade only happens going downhill on the togue after a few hairpins. But my pads probably have 2mm left in the front so no matter what I'll be swapping those and doing a fluid change
