Is that a Roush or did he add all the parts cause the rocker panel kinda looks like a different color in a few pics.. althought it could just be bad lighting?

But yeah good job, any reason why you guys chose these over the Baers?

At first I thought it was silver.. never seen a silver Roush before.. but now it looks tungsten

It is a legit Roush stage 1 and it is the tungsten. As for the choice in the kit, he asked me to install it. That was all his decision.

Ah ok, must be the lighting then [8D] Yeah Ive yet to see a silver Roush.. and Im looking forward to it lol. Heh I was looking at the Baers, they look pretty sweet, Im just not looking forward to having a companys name on my brakes.. Id rather paint them and put a pony on them or something.

RE: Wilwood Brake Install

I have to point out how little brake pad is actually clamping the rotor from the outside down to the center hat.

I sincerely doubt braking in this setup (said to be full race) would be better than full race pads (Hawk Blues or HT14s) on a stock setup. I instruct for BMW and Porsche Driving events, and I doubt the owner maxed out the stock system before moving to this.

It not just about having multipiston calipers and large rotors, its about maximizing the clamping force on the rotor, tire footprint, balance front to rear etc.

Maybe the owner likes this, but I raise the [&o][sm=badidea.gif] flag on this setup.

To each their own. Sorry to throw a negative into your post.
