Default just a little pet pev about big brake kits

for anyone interested in getting a big brake kit, this probally wont change your mind, its more of a heads up.

Something I never thought about until it actually happend was......my spare doesnt fit over my 13" brakes, so for the 2 flats i have gotten this winter, thanks to the roads getting severely messed up by plow trucks, you have to take off a rear tire, put on the spare, and then put the rear tire up front.

just a little pet pev, thought i would vent.

Just go to an automotive store, get one of those tire repair sealant and it should help out a lot. Did wonder on my friend's flat tire, but I heard your tire is non-fixable or something after.... that I'm not sure

She sold her car later and bought a set of cheap tires to replace.... so I have no idea Hehe.

when you buy the brakes it normally says that you need to have wheels 16" or bigger to fit....i have 18" wheels on my car, so i took my spare out anyways

you have to do something similar if you get a flat on a rear tire of an S2000. You have to put a front tire in back and put the spare up front, something about the difference in tire diameter on each side of the car could mess up the LSD or something like that, if you put the spare on the back.

just something interesting that made me think about.
