almost wrecked the gt
Good to hear your in one piece, 4wdisc are a great investment ,may seem costly, but not as much as replacing yourself or your car. My Dad has a 32 5 window coupe.The thing weighs about 2400 lbs with the old guy in it, 490 hp but that thing stops on a dime. that will be one of my next upgrades
Sounds like your rear drums are out of adjustment. New front brakes would be a waste considering you locked them up...can't stop any faster than that. Glad to see you made it out okay anywho
Some friends and I had just left the bar and I felt good so of coarse I was going as fast as I could, racing everyone.
Some lexus tried to race, so I had to show him whats up, naturally
I was doing about 60 and had to get down to 20 in less then 5 seconds, I slammed on the brakes and they started smoking and gave off a nasty smell, and the brakes squeaked a couple of days, maybe 2 weeks after, but it seems to have gone away.
I don't think anyone can express how important brakes are.
It's the first thing you should upgrade if you plan to put any money into a car.
