slow and stop


i used to dislike braking cos the feeling was never assuring......

most brake systems are designed for longevity and general use and not for hard driving and emergencies.....

if one needs better brakes, he can

        a.        replace brake pads ($100++)

        b.        replace rubber brake hoses with braided stainless steel hoses ($200++)

        c.        change brake fluid / bleed brake system ($40+)

        d.        replace rotors ($200+)

        e.        upsize rotors ($250++)

        f.        upgrade brake master pump ($?)

        g.        upgrade to big brake kit ($2000++)

at the very least, car owners should do a and b while c should be done once a year...

nonetheless, installing a big brake kit is worth the big dollars if you demand complete confidence from your braking systems......

nowadays i enjoy braking as much as i love accelerating and turning...... but right now i can only hope the BBK is durable and lasting....

not all BBK are created the same.....
