Frame stiffening has nothing to do with braking. And it has full interior. Full LEATHER interior.

Why is that, how come the brembos are not better?

Suspension geometry plays the largest role in braking. Has nothing to do with the amount of pistons, size of the rotor, or pad material if it's not using front and rear brakes properly.

Now, you put Brembos on a car with correct geometry, and you've got amazing response...like our little Lx that will out brake everything except a quarter million dollar Viper GTS-R racecar on slicks, while we are on 255mm street tires. Suck it.

You are right about suspension geometry, but you can not say braking has nothing to do w/ any of those things above you listed. When we started this discussion I thought we were talking about a GT w/ basically stock suspension, but thats cool.

You didnt read what I posted. I didnt say braking had nothing to do with whats done to reneponac's car. I said it had nothing to do with frame stiffening. Putting a frame kit in a car doesnt decrease braking distance. Everything else done to reneponac's car has nothing to do with frame stiffening, but only correcting Fords horrible stock suspension geometry.

So when is this 140-0 race gona happen? I can tape it from my Miata since I can stay outfront of both of you to 140 and all.
