Not knocking you guys or anything, cause the brakes are great. I just think it would of been better to wait till atleast the FI kits came out so you guys can atleast have more interest with ppl thinking about upgrading their brakes. Cause I probably will get a BBK in the future when i figure out what route i am going to go with this car performance wise.

Good luck on your sales...

Um... We are almost done with our turbo kit, and our exhaust systems. A Lightened Flywheel is in the process of production through one of the firms that we do R&D w/. We also will have engine management by the end of September. By January we should have some fully built blocks. And we fully intend to break what ever needs breaking on the car to make sure what we build is better. I am still not understanding what it is you are trying to tell me with the statement, "but like I said if not for performance reasons or all show, not sure why you would get it that’s all." But you said this before, "I mean seriously, you really got the brakes for auto-x more so than worrying about everyday traffic situation."
I'm just confused, but I am glad you would consider a similar kit in the future.

StopTech put a lot of research into their brake kits, expecially when it comes to matching the piston sizes to the application. The brake bias should be unchanged whether you just add their front big brake kit, or if you do front and rear.

Oh, well to clear things up, with my VW, I drag raced it and was into performance and especially when I had my t3/t4 on for a short while I needed a BBK kit. I was just saying I got mine for performance reasons, and was comparing your statement about auto-x and that being the reason why you really got the BBK kit, more so than everyday driving. Did that make more sense, maybe not.

Blah... lol.. anyway, hit me up when you guys finish your turbo kit. Actually, when will you have more details on it? That is something that will definitely catch my attention :D

And again good luck in your companies ventures.

StopTech offers both.

Ah. Now I see, Autocross events are quite large her in the Atlanta Region, with an average attendance of around 150+ drivers. Needless to say competition is ravenous. So I see what you are saying. The kit will be unveiled at the Hot Import Nights Show here in Atlanta on the 21st.
Thank you for the vote of confidence!
