    From the last few years of living with them, I want to say that hawk HPS are the most limp-dick pads I've ever felt on a car. They last forever, but I wish they didn't.

      ...but I also want to say that both the car and turbo install look immaculate.

        I have great result on my s13, however on my e30, the fronts felt different, then I changed to ss rear brake lines and hps pads too, but my master cylinder went out, I still need to change it and bleed the brakes to see if it brakes better than stock...

                    That's amazing! I thought it would be 3-4k+ rpms before that. I may have to use the same turbo.

                                Looks like you are really enjoying your build. Be careful on the street. Awesome videos of pics and video at the track. Is your A/C working as well as you had hoped?
