Default possible cheap rear brake upgrade for 13 owners

I'm currently working on compliing a list of parts needed to upgrade your rear brakes to larger units! this is so many important when stopping from high speeds. the stock 13 brakes are horrible.

this will be a very cheap upgrade and still work well , just not as many $$ as the z32 upgrade.

this + q45 = many better!!!

stay tuned when more z31 parts join s13 garage!

rear brakes in most cases account for less then 20% of your stopping power.... id want more up front.

Well lets see, just for estamate we will say that you are correct, and we can stop at 122 feet with no rear brake upgrades and Z32's in the front. Well lets say you get a 7% greater braking power 122 x .07 = 8 feet, 8 feet is halfway into someones car, so I think its worth it, plus it looks lame having these big brakes in the front and tiny stockers in the back.

you seem to have missed the whole q45 front brakes thing.

rear brakes are very important when you want to do more than just drag.
