Bars or Brakes
 
Not 100% sure if I'll buy either right now but which one should I go with first.
I don't race the car either way and as you guys can tell I like having a modified car to show off.

I thought you had a C5 brake upgrade?

No I've talked about it before but never bought it. I have a place than can do it for about $400 cheaper than anyone else with everything included. That's the main reason it's coming back up.

:D.... your mag article said otherwise :lolsign:

I dunno which Id go with... Either is going to affect a seperate performance aspect.. I dunno which one I would pick. Probably the stranos... I could care less about stopping lol.

Reread the article, it's listed as a future mod.

paarman97maro 12-08-2006 02:25 AM

Correct me if Im wrong, is it not listed as a current mod?

Holy big picture Batman!!

Fine he just wording it incorrectly because all those are under the future mods.

But that's not important. I'm just trying to figture out which way to go with my next mod.

paarman97maro 12-08-2006 02:27 AM

Yeah thats what I thought... but I saw the current mods and got confused... I was just reading it a couple days ago, thats why it stuck out to me, cause I didnt know you 'had' c5 brakes.. but it makes sense now.

2000v6cam 12-08-2006 02:31 AM

yea id go with brakes if it were my choice, even though u dont race it never hurts to have upgraded brakes

I voted Brakes only because of the deal that you can get. Wait on the Sway bars until there is a GP going on.

ITSA6 12-08-2006 08:29 AM

i think brakes would be a better idea personally especially at a good price

97z2801ss 12-08-2006 08:41 AM

brakes n find a gp 4 the bars

Brakes, they will look way better through some nice wheels.

blue89vert 12-09-2006 07:21 PM

either one would be nice. how many times have you thought about getting the stranos now chad? lol

FORCE_FED_Z 12-09-2006 09:40 PM

I would say brakes. Its probably one of the most overlooked areas of improvement. You can have all the power in the world, but what good is it if you can't stop.

I view all areas of performance as safety areas as well. For instance- you are on the highway driving typical highway speeds. Average stopping distances at 70 mph are typically around 170 ft in perfect conditions. If you can reduce that by 15-20 ft you are going to have a car that is a lot safer. That 20 ft can mean the difference from just having to change your underwear to having to change you underwear and rebuild the front of your car.
