It doesn't make any difference if you've just started your new crazycool racetrack performance project, or find yourself right in a middle of it, or even if you already entered its final stretch. It's always a right time to optimize your vehicle's braking performance by throwing some...

Hi all, I fitting a master cylinder brace and Hawk HPS pads at the end of April in readiness for the May 11th weekend at the Dragon's tail (Deals Gap). The difference was night and day and the car stopped twice as fast and had a nice firm feel on the pedal. While I was at the gap, the brakes...

Well, I did a quick search on here, and I didn't see one of these threads started, so I figured I would. We have one on a similar thread that I belong to, and it is a pretty good thread. Basically, it is a thread for posting modifications that can be done for nothing or next to nothing. I'll...
