But the brembos have worse stopping power then our stockers.... this is my point.
GrRx8 if you are going to do testing you will have to do it pretty much same day or with similar outside temperatures/humidity etc etc.... if you change you tire/wheel combo its pointless, your going to increase your stopping distance with bigger heavier wheels anyway.
Fly me and blueeyes out there well put your brakes on for free and hell i'll even talk to ryan about putting the test in RxTuner as a fun little tidbit.
But since thats out of the question for now can you weigh the rotors see how much more or less they weight than stock?

I will sure do that mate as i have them sitting next to me for a month
If you know the stock weight i can weight the aftermarket right now else i must change them and then weight them..
As for the rims i m getting bigger and the tires will be 235/35 and 265/30 so as you said the number won't be as accurate as with the stock rims but in the stock rims the pistons won't fit....

At last here are my GREX GPOT BRAKES!!
I bought a rim just to fit them into cause they can't fit in the stock 18" and THEY COULDN'T FIT IN THE 19" EVEN!!
I had to install very small wheel spacer in the front rims..
The braking is awesome..I can't believe how fast i am stopping now..

Aren't you over doing it a little with those added fender grills? Eh, if that floats your boat go for it I guess. Doesn't really suit my taste.
Those are some crazy brakes... I hope they were worth the money.

who cares about the resale value when you can enjoy a nice car and lots of money to mod it to make it unique.... and still have spare money after that....
life is too short....

meh resale value will be crap by time any of us sell
u realise car depreciates a fair bit moment u drive out of the showroom
i have spent a fair bit on my car aswell (not as much as my greek buddy here
) and ive had people say to me - wat about resale? look by time i sell this car the value will be low anywayz, may aswell enjoy it while i got it.
