But we need to get some sort of super brake info sticky...

Of course you could spend an hour searching and come up with some good info... but it would be awesome if some of pro's here could throw a good brake sticky together... or something... ya know?

Just a suggestion...

Your Friend,

And fellow 7th Gen Owner,

Mr Mayonaise

Here's some info. Contrary to popular belief, your brakes don't stop your car. Your tires do!

good read... I have a question that may be stupid... i did search again and didn't find anything...

It isn't worth it. You would need an EX ECU which would have issues with the engine. I would have to say, no, you can't add it.

Not only would you need the ECU, but I think a different master cylinder, plus the ABS distriubtor thing, lines, wheel speed sensors and all other kinds of crap. It's probably too expensive to be worth it.
