Hey, lemme know what happens with the brakes. Mine suck, and any upgrade would be welcome. I get some wicked-*** fade... Guess it's the 'heavy' lightweight rims

normal driving the brakes are fine, but i have this little run through a twisty street and at the end they'll usually be getting soft. i see speeds up to 140kph (80mph?) on this little run. It lasts for about 5 or so minutes of hard driving.
its my 3 in the morning run when no one is around.

Same trouble here, but it only start after two or three race, the part where you have to brake for 230kph to 100 cause you think there's a cop ahead and anyway the guy is about one kilometer behind you and i have four disc brake.

The old 1.8l dohc puts out 180hp stock and can stand easely in the 200hp, the new 2l turbo is what 170hp at 7 or 8psi and you have to be carefull not to go to high if you augment the boost not to brake it. By the way an msp will be behind me in a curve has i have the suspension to handle the same curve has the msp but i also have the engine to pull me out of the curve.
