199 tires thats crazy

from everything I have read they're no major benifits in running disc over drums unless you have like something pushing over 130 whp

I run rear discs for the simple fact that i hate drum brakes on hondas. The springs are too small.

 

Random hottness from todays meet....

? i would say no. depends on what you use the car for, how much you change brakes, or how ugly drums are. i could still pwn my brakes with maybe the 100whp i have. i put disc on for the ease as b17 said. i dislike the design of drums, discs make more sense imo.

 

drums=just as much stopping power as discs.

and they are lighter.

especially if you get the 87 HF aluminum drums, like i've got! haha

drums for life=redzcstandardhatch, and i've got 400 whp

 

anyone see those carbon fiber/kevlar pad covers that E. Honda makes?

THEYRE JUST A SET OF RICE. you dont want em. you dont.

no function at all. might as well buy the fake 'spoon'plastic caliper covers off of ebay.

 

they make caliper covers lmao!

 

YES. THEY LOOK LIKE SPOON CALIPERS BUT THEY ARE PLASTIC COVERS THAT GO OVER STOCKIES. I THINK THEY ALSO COME IN RED AND SAY BREMBO.

 

...i dont think he's making caliper covers. just carbon sheets that cover the brake pads.

Yep, no function, but pretty cool, non the less..LOL....I want kevlar.

 

There just for looks... i dont think its worth 65$ to have kevlar cover my brake pads.


these other things are just ridiculous... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...34538

 

well we are on the carbon fiber/kevlar topic.... im looking for just a sheet of carbon kevlar to make something (not brake pad covers )
Anyone know where to find just plain sheets of it?

i found this site..( http://compositeenvisions.com/ ) they have tons of colors and patterns, any reviews???
