Cool Just bought my Brembo's!!!

Ok, I just bought my slotted Brembo sports and AEM performance pads from buybreaks.com for $200 SHIPPED!!! I can't wait to get them. I was driving last night and tried to stop to avoid running over a porcupine but my stock breaks suck so I decided to upgrade, especially for an x-country trip.

Sweet... I have this setup, except slotted and cross-drilled brembo blanks. They stop really well. Especially when they heat up a little bit.

Remember that your tires are just as important (If not more) as your rotors and pads, when it comes to breaking (After all, they are the only part of your car actually touching the ground).

Word! I noticed a huge improvement when I got my Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's on in place of my stock Firestones. When I just upgraded the brakes there wasn't much of a difference. The stock brakes are more than enough for the stock tires.
