There ya go Lance!


I personally put on big brakes years ago on the Nomad... and I only did it for looks really... since the car never saw any action... and I used to laugh about all the "show cars" that began putting on these huge multi piston drilled and slotted systems. Guys used to ask me about my brakes and my smartass response was that all those big brakes didn't mean squat because the two piston / single piston combo I took off were MORE THAN capable of overcoming the tires traction.

Obviously for racing etc -- there's the issue of heat dissipation and blah blah blah --- but for the street and mild track use... I really wonder how much brake we really need or use.
