Default TRD BBK review

WOW is all I have to say. Was coming home the back way from a nearby town to my house in the boonies. Went over top of a small mountain range so I pushed the car a good bit through the twistys and hammered on the brakes. They held up beautifully. I have tested them before here and tehre but not over a 20-30 minutes of pounding on the brakes. I never once got even close to brake fade. The only thing is once they got a little to hot I could feel the rotor itself getting a little warped from the heat but honestly its nothing major just a slight change in brake feel. Brakes give you amazing confidence when coming into a hard corner knowing you will be able to slow down in no time. The brakes by far are the best thing I have done to the car.
