So..... you take an 8 foot 10 inch long 1800lb car that's already got front brakes big enough to stop a car half again it's size, and put six piston calipers and BIGGER rotors on it. Don't forget the the rear disc conversion, and an anchor to throw out the back........... and all the suspension and tire/wheel upgrades neccessitated by the additional stopping power. There's a REASON all those components are tiny.........

Very tempting, Those brakes look awesome. I have to agree that the brakes are overkill for the car but they also look great. I figured I spent almost $ 8,000 in upgrades so far, another $ 2,000 wouldn't matter, it's all relative. The Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake Line upgrade helps alot.

Just the other day I was travelling at over 80mph and was tagged by a State Trooper with a Lazer gun from the freeway overpass. I slammed on my brakes and hid under that same overpass and saw him enter the freeway up ahead. The car doesn't accelerate very fast, but man it stops really fast. I waited 5 minutes before proceeding on my course and saw he had pulled over someone else 2 miles down.

Please post pictures when you have them installed, will it clear your wheels?
