Glad you're still making progress with the car, Sieg.
That's a lowlight ya wingnut!

Along with the time I exceeded the limits of the stock brakes coming up to a T intersection off a freeway ramp shortly after I installed the T56, two awesome corners that I've been through hundreds of times leading up to the T........then I realized how much more speed I carried of the last apex..........120 yds to the T........cars lined everywhere in the intersection except in the right turn lane and the light had just change green........I had an angel on my shoulder during this event......the fronts weren't locking nor stopping thanks to the new 200TW tires and I was modulating the rears in and out of lock up and scrubbed just enough speed to pitch it into the 90* turn and throttle out without hitting any of the row of cars to my left.......it was literally inches from clipping someone with the rear quarter.

My other option was going square into a K wall at 30+ mph.

I went straight home and called Tobin at Kore3 discussed the situation and ordered front brakes.
