Information That I Have Researched

[Doolz]

Full Monty- Thanks for that information.

I was just wondering if there are a good set of brakes that are a little cheaper. I dont take my car to track days or anything like that, just thrash it around on the weekends a bit.

Obviously I want to do it a little cheaper than 3K, so is there a set of brakes (seems like front only) that I could pick up for cheaper?

I was thinking anything between 1- 1.5K. Is this possible?

pbr do a full kit for about 2grand, 4 pistons, 4 disks, 4 braided lines and pads - I have these and they are a good upgrade for the occasional track day and awesome for the street - the braided lines make a massive difference in pedal feel

Hey forum

I am wanting to know from people that have completed mods. I have done a fair bit of research and have found a few discrepencies.

1. The first modding place that I contacted said that I could get 270ishrwkw if I do the following; flash tuner, injectors, cold air induction, dyno tuned

2. After speaking to modding place B, he said that the 1 was full of sh1t and could not be done for the limited amount of mods. He suggested putting on an exhaust and maybe intercooler kit (no tuning required) and then look at the flash box.

From everything that I have read, people are generally flash tuning it first and then putting on exhausts to get over 300rwkw.

is this the best way to go or is putting on the exhaust first the way to go. I would like to make my final decision ASAP as I have the money aside for the mod. Just want to know what way to go.

What car do you have or did I miss it. Im sure your a T, just wearing a bonnet bulge but it would help to know. Especially BA or BF?

And always match your output with some decent brakes.

As Gav said, dont bother with rears. The PBR performance rears are the EXACT SAME callipers as standard except they are painted red. Yes, the rotors are slotted and pad material different. A cheaper option is to get just the front PBR C6 calliper, rotors (maybe DBA slotted 4000's), better pads and braided lines. Should be able to get them for around $1300.

Yeah. I have a 2005 BA MkII.
