          It is Autovogue's Av3. And I modified it plenty to get good fitment...I cracked the fiberglass in 3 places to reshape it and refiberglassed all it's weak points. It was the next best thing considering I don't have the skills to put together Jordan's rear end.

          Diego, you really need to work on that english of yours. Thanks for the comments, but usually the word "crap" is not a good one.

                That is Ireland Engineering's front and rear big brake kit. The front is 330x28mm vented, cross-drilled rotors with Mustang Cobra 2 piston floating calipers. The rear is 310x20mm vented, cross-drilled rotors with Corvette single piston floating calipers.

                I went with IE's because of the floating calipers, which sounds stupid i know. But because of my very deep dish wheels, fixed calipers would be hard to fit. I would have to run thick spacers but my wheels and tires are so wide that I would have fender problems.

                In the future, probably within another year, I am upgrading to fixed calipers front and rear, my wheels will come out a bit more, and i'll have my fenders pulled (like the germans do).

                Overall, I am VERY PLEASED with the brakes. The pads are huge and the pedal feels great with the 25mm Master cylinder and stainless lines. I haevn't been back to the track yet, so I haven't had the chance to see what fade is like (i'd imagine it'd be almost non-existent) but I can tell you that anyway who says stopping distances won't be improved with a big brake kit doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. I also have 235 series tires so my ABS doesn't even come on. And that's with MILD pads. Kit came with PBR metal masters which i still think are GREAT street pads. They BARELY DUST, i love that. But they do not bite that aggressively.

                            yes andre. They fit like tires that were meant to be driven on. The handling is incredible, and likely nothing you'll ever experience.

                            EDIT: seriously though andre, how do you jack your car up, because i have to drive up on a 2x4 that has an end cut at an angle like a ramp just so i can get my floor jack under the car.
