ohhh boy

i want an impreza WRX STI someday... inspira for training to use a manual tranny?

so far my mods all gain more stopping/stability... power... 60whp also cukup makan dah

if no holds barred almost impossible to achieve (WRX STI is actually quite within reach la... from my current earning, maybe 40-50% there to 'qualify' owning one lol) dream car? easily the GTR with/without the AMS mods because closing in 400km/h is just WAAAAYYYY TOO SEXY

oh that's what im doing with the inspira

IMP slotted/x drilled disc rotors + IMP steel braided brake hose + bosch DOT 5.1 brake fluid
for the rear, bendix ceramic based drum brake shoes
EBC greenstuff brake pads

not like i have much of a choice also la

atm just finalizing details/cash lo... oh and had the contractor surveying my house gate and discussed on some details for the renovation lol

dun wan new car to park outside ma... and haven't even got the reno done/car driven also... wait till it actually happen la... who knows if shit may happen

iswara is on drums.

also you're probably confused with DOT 5

*PLAN*

belum buat pun.

i'm poor, that's why i sharing cost with little sister (far richer than i am sadly) and mom

inspira also havent buy ma... and inspira got WAAAAY more on wheel horse power than 60 lo....

so...it's kinda a given, no?

ironically the stupid bendix is noisier than the front brakes... ceramic my ass

for the noise, i think it really depends on the pads (although YES slotted/x drilled WILL introduce more noise thanks to the additional grind/friction which also would mean more pad wear) as the EBC greens are generally damn quiet unless it's on cold/slow bite and for my case, i have to wind down the windows to really hear the sound.

but hey, when the rotor/pads were new, the "turbine sound" while hard braking was addictive

most people would never EVER reach the boiling point of DOT4, and DOT4 is cheaper, last longer than DOT 5.1 that tends to hygroscope much easier/faster.

so yeah if you never bother about braking performance (touge downhills/track days), i'd reckon one would never ever need to bother with DOT 5.1

just say your brakes are turbocharged la, better stopping; con lan firm won't accident

most track cars/kaki use performance DOT4 (unofficially "super DOT4"), not 5.1 btw. super dot 4 cost more than 5.1 by far, have generally no drawbacks of 5.1, while having much higher temperature threshold.

which means no, higher numbers don't mean better
if anything, my choice for the 5.1 is because i'm a cheapjing driving cheap car and i guess i fit in this "cheapjing community" eh?

oh and DOT5 don't exist

personally i think the entire braking system works in unison, from the master pump/cylinder (how much vacuum/pressure is applied) to the brake hoses (expansion) to the brake fluid (boiling temperature, viscosity differences/tolerances even after boiling) to the pads (pad material fade resistance/recovery if faded) to the rotors (heat dissipation)

hence ' '

=edit=
oh ya for your BBK, must upsize to minimum 18" or 17" can do?
16" for sure can't fit right?
