Boy, those Big TSW brakes sure looked good after the Dr. got them put on jiminnis car. I know he needed brakes, but didnt know the flow restrictor was opening the flood gates. I guess fracky will just have to wait for the next set
Whoa, whoa, whoa....what happened? <in my best Ricky Ricardo voice> "Jim, you got some 'splainin to do." I thought we had this worked out, you do full suspension & I do brakes/rims/tires. Then we swap, you get brakes/rims/tires & I get suspension.

2.5" (better torque and hp over 3"), no resonator, borla proxs muffler (flow through design), and a battery box delete. No bends. Straight through. And LOUD, but a good loud. Not what it was this summer.

I think I'm just gona go with the willwoods anyways. If you really know how to use your brakes, you can get away with using the stockers (rotors glowing red, but still able to go fast on the canyons)... The BBk is just a little bit more padding for brake fade and they look cool....

Well, I agree with you 100%. However, I've heard from 7 people who have seen the TSW in-person & the consensus is "they take your breath away." How much better of a statement can you get? I'm going to want to pet them, take care of them, look at them, keep pictures of them in my wallet, etc. etc. They're going on the Frackmobile on Tuesday (10/2) & I'll take lots of pictures to post.

Its not worth the money. Honestly, livingin Kansas you would be fine with the stickers and hawk pads. Anything more is overkill...
