Wilwood's are GREAT KITS. The closest you can get to brembo.

Wilwood's are GREAT KITS. The closest you can get to brembo.

And we outperformed both at the recent RSX challenge:

http://www.hondanews.com/catID3020?mid=2005110166750&mime=asc

We (StopTech) were shorter than Brembo by 23 feet and shorter than Wilwood by 33 feet. Brembo only beat a stock RSX-S by a few feet on R compund tires while Wilwood was actually worse than stock by about 10 feet on race tires.

We are also Toyota's choice for brakes on all of the tC celebrity cars at the upcoming Long Beach Grand Prix.

Wow.... there's a lot of space in those wheels....

Definately need a bbk in there... but.... don't know if they are "Too" big for a tC...

Surprised there's no rubbing... skinny tires must make it.... but ouch for bumps.

^^ I thought it was gonna ride like sh!t, but its a whole lot better than I thought. You do have to focus on the road though, cause if you hit a pothole on the interstate your rim WILL fold up.

Did you guys have to adjust ur spedodometer after getting bigger rims, thats why i didnt go bigger than 17"

Nope.... as the rim gets bigger, the tires get thinner... hopefully making up the difference.

I'm off by 3 mph at 70

20's are a little too big for the tC IMHO... but they do look sweet.
