Mod Disease Never Ends.. Brembo's Are In! Pics Inside...
I Need a doctor. will this mod disease ever stop? stop ? need help..
After contemplating things i decided ok we decided arling n my wife, that the next upgrade will be the brakes.. the gang at lucent suggested the Brembo Big Brake Grand Tourismo kit.. :) at first i was hesitant bec. of the hefty price but boy am i glad that i did it.. :) no regrets here the car stops on the dime close to pccb stopping power... imho... we actually did a bit of scientific study on the brakes here is what we found out... Brembo Turbo 15'' F & 14'' R set-up 4pot brakes with custom "Arling color" STOCK: front stock rotor 13'' - 22.4lbs front stock caliper - 10.2lbs rear stock rotor 13'' - 19.2lbs rear stock caliper - 8lbs BREMBOS: front brembo rotor 15'' - 19.0lbs front brembo caliper - 10lbs rear brembo rotor 14'' - 18.4lbs rear brembo caliper - 10lbs total weight saving: front - 3.6lbs per corner 7.2lbs per axle rear - +1.2lbs per corner +2.4 per axle the fronts are actually lighter than oem.. and also there is a +2in inc. in rotor size while the rear bec more heavy it is still not bad bec. theere is a +1in inc. in rotor size.. and of course the pedal feel and the stopping power is far superior than stock.. i should have done this a loong time ago... I'd like to thanks the guys at lucent, arling, tom, simon, julio & jesus for all the help onmy car.. i would especially thanks my wife for buying thefront brake kit for me, also thanks for arling for the extra help ;) i appreciate it dude... okay enough babble here are the pics...
