Default So (casa)M3=lunch and i were talking and agree that our favorite mod over all is a BBK....

have come across an over abundance of idiots on the road lately and,4 times within a 3 days time span, i had to do a complete power stop from 45-50mph cause some dumbass was going right in front of me. I think what bothers me more is that they yell at you because you are the one whom obviously cant drive, How dare i accelerate when i have a green light! Shame on me! But seriously i love my brakes

Default Oddly, after some comparisons, the stock brakes stopped the car faster with 1-2 hard stops....

after the 2nd hard stop, the stockers already started to fade and the BBKs' true colors shined vividly.

Default 2nd. Tough to go back to a car with standard brakes.....

Basically I've added $2k to the cost of the next performance car I buy =)

Default Know the feeling, love my 6 pot Alcons and rear upgrade, although I always worry that the

person behind me may not be able to stop as quick as me

Um, you can probably stop faster from 55 mph on stock brakes and pads...

It is all about the tires, brakes have little to do with it.
