Message	It took me almost crashing into a SUV that cut in front of me, to finally stop the power mods and do a full brake job, after the car didn't even really slow down after I pressed hard on them. It's hard to even think of 3500lbs plus driver and passenger/s driving around on little 11" brakes on a car that cost $45,000 when new. I can speak of a Toyota as well. The Supra's brakes are just WAY better stock. STAGE V++++ Going to XV+ and beyond :) 1994 Toyota Supra TT ( BPU ) 67k miles Black 6Spd
