    let me guess...

    you're also one of those people who swears he's making "xxx horsepower" because his butt dyno says so...even though he's never put it on a real one?

    Nope, I openly admit I have no idea how much power I'm running.

    For most non-turbos the only thing you need is good pads, stainless lines, and a good quality brake fluid. I run 1st gen TT brakes on my n/a, but I also pull a trailer with it. Let me tell you... it will lock up the brakes even with that trailer behind the car

    Stock brakes work great as long as you have titanium backing plates, better pads, better fluid and its completely bled with stainless lines. I have this combo on stock rotors and it works fantastically. I had big brakes on the car in the past and I did not like the pedal feel. I like the short travel and insta grab of the stock setup, but it fades too easy so higher mass rotors and thicker pads are where the big brake setups excel. Repeatability etc. For mostly street use though, on a lower hp car, the stockers are fine. I have nice big wheels on my car just begging for the larger rotor and caliper of a big brake setup and so just for aesthetics I am looking for a Stoptech or Brembo/Ap kit 14"
