" i'm pretty sure you would be homeless, crapping in the woods, without a car....cause i doubt you can build your own celica, build your own house...muchless build your own crapper...so you don't deserve to buy them Try me. And I didn't say the 5th gen big brake kit, I just said 5th gen brakes. Get a clue, man. And I have worked on building a house, running plumbing, wiring, and I've done a bottem up restore of a car. It was a 74 cj-5, which isn't the most tech advanced piece of machinery, but I did do it. I just hate it when people think if you want any thing any good you have to pay big bucks for it. You can go ahead and do that for whatever your going to do, but I'm not. I'll make what I need, and I'll do my work myself if at all possible. I'm not saying I don't need help sometimes, I think we all do. But it's plane wrong to think that you have to spend a lot of money to have something good. You can't agrue with that.

He's the one who said this thread was making him dumber. cause he's tried that before... Umm... a big rear brake kit is PURELY cosmetic. It'll serve little to no purpose because the fronts on FWD cars do about 70% of the braking anyways. The rears are merely there to balance it out. If you REEAALLLY REEALLLY wanted a big rear brake it however... all you need is a custom rotor to house over the internal drum... from there... a big caliper and a custom caliper bracket. You CANNOT simply move fronts to rears because you need a custom rear rotor... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
