Had that test not involved acceleration I'm sure we would have finished in the VERY top since our car is certainly slower 0-60 than the cars that finished ahead of us.

Now, some may want "the look" and I can understand that. Which is why I am having Wilwood send us these parts to test and design new brackets for. Unfortunately, for this customer that will not help in a timely manner since we are in the middle of other projects right now.

In case people are thinking we sell mismatched parts, the rear brake kit wasn't supplied by TCI.
