Man, I'd take those brakes, thank you.

What are those, 10K from Comptech?

And those were the rear brakes...

Just curious as to where you work and what the car was having serviced?

That particular Brembo brake package uses a separate caliper for the hand brake.

seems wasteful to me. All that extra *unsprung* weight just for a e-brake...

You would think since they are Comptech they could have come up with something better. From what I understand it is just a Brembo brake kit.

I think the CT SC looks the nicest out of all the FI available for the NSX. It just puts out the least amount of power, and is the most expensive

Yeah, but only 10-13K of that 50K actually went to the engine. Another 10K for the brakes, another 10K for the suspension and wheels/tires. It adds up.

Still that guy deserves my title.

no doubt about it, i would be a little more than slightly pissed, especially considering (i know theyre nowhere near the same car, but just comparing numbers) you can EASILY get atleast 650 from a supra for not a lot of money. but his money... i personally would go turbo no questions, ive seen pictures of some pretty impressive setups that probably put out some awesome numbers.

Looks like Kenny's car...he has every part in the Comptech catalog except the short gears, as he went with the ring and pinion instead, which Comptech gave to him to do the brochure shoot. You should see his other cars.
