An epiphany....of sorts

Today was a glorious and beautiful day. I had just washed and waxed the Pcar and decided to take it for a rather brisk jaunt around my favorite country road . The road is secluded and "testy" in some sections. The only surprise is an occasional cow or jackrabbit in the road.....but that keeps you on your toes ...right?

On the way home from the brisk jaunt, a cool down lap if you will, it hit me....I spent money to get the car to run harder.....how much is it going to cost me to get it to STOP!!

ROFL......I see no end in this ......but I am having fun!

Its way cheaper to drive it, when its at a STOP, you have to mod it... Its hard to mod when the car is actually moving

There is no end to the modding madness.....it will never end till you are out of $$$.

As far as the brakes go, mine stops great.

I'm just looking for a way to Stop all that dang brake dust from covering my wheels every day!

What pads are you running?



I would go with the GT3s or the Brembo 6 piston.

OEM stockers. Pads and rotors were just replaced by the dealership before I bought the car.
