in comparison, akebono's are like 112ft, right?

I thought the braking distance was roughly the same. The only difference was really a result of the better tires on the Sport package cars.

Though after 3-5 really hard stops then the difference between braking distances would start to grow exponentially.

I'll be paying off some bills and should have enough left over for the HKS HI POWER TITANIUM and STILLEN G3

Thanks for the input so far everyone.

kenchan · 01-28-2011, 11:58 AM

so corona- are you going to do brakes instead of coilovers?

Jeffblue · 01-28-2011, 12:04 PM

i think coilovers would put the biggest smile on your face in terms of actual driving experience, as well as the drop looking nice.

Side note: I'll be moving to Germany in like 3 weeks so getting stuff before I leave would probably be cheaper than shipping it out.

If you are going to Germany would be a good idea to save for a "huptie", Winters are bad over there, plus they used a lot of salt.

On the other side you maybe can get some coilovers or lowering spring, camber kit, etc.

I think I might go with a lowering kit and brakes since I have been thinking about it for a while. But then again since it is my DD, maybe saving up for a "huptie" might be better. It's up in the air.

I'd go coils or lsd.

I think it you bother replacing the brakes, it would be smart to go straight to a high performance set. The akebono's are good, but probably not worth dropping $1400+ over the base brakes.

If you buy a Stillen exhaust this month you get Stillen Gen 3 Intakes for free.
