Thank you previous owner

I have no idea who owned the car before me, but they put the brakes and rotors on the car, which allowed me to go from 80mph to 60mph faster than the state troopers radar could hit me

(was an interstate by the way, im not a maniac......all the time )

so just wanted to say thanks, and to Brembo

LOL, good to hear! I'll be upgrading my brakes once I need new pads. Any idea what rotors/pads you've got on there now?

I am 100% sure you could have slowed down from 80mph-60mph with $25 rotors and $30 pads from Ebay.

+1 for good brakes

110 to 80 for a statie. Good thing he wasn't paying attention / surrounded by cars.

I was lucky as well that he wasn't running radar, though, had he been I probably wouldn't have been going 110 anyway. Yey for radar detectors.

you could slow down from 80 to 60 with no brakes, the point was the amount of time it took
