Brakes, are there any options.

Are there any big brake options available for the CR-Z yet? The stock brakes overheat easily when pushed hard.

wilwood coming soon, AJ Racing has a spoon caliper and rotor package out, stoptechs BBK is already available. im sure there will be more to come also.

His rotors and pads, and there is a brembo pkg. I'm waiting to see if the wilwoods come out. Someone mentioned maybe end of April.

Are there any caliper options that do not require new rotors? Seeing as it is a Honda, I would think that there would be some directly swappable unit from another car, maybe a type r of something.

My main issue is heating the brake fluid. I am going to use a DOT3 racing fluid, and I am tempted to make a duct to the brakes as they currently have nothing.

Maybe I can get away with doing just that, maybe.

^ the DC5 calipers work with the stock DC5 brackets but im pretty sure you need DC5 rotors also... someone did this swap in his intro thread but i forget who it was.

here it is. check post 1 for details

Here's mine.

So, I'm not a Honda guy before this. When I search DC-5 brakes on ebay, I find a brembo setup, not the calipers pictured in the thread above.

yeap, front calipers and rotors from a dc5-s work without any modifications, you get really nice pedal feel as well.

Muddy, which pad compound(s) have you tried?

search for OEM dc5 type s calipers and rotors, you will need brake pads as well.
