you know whats crazy, i don't have any brake fade at all. not that I notice anyway. but then again i dont brake into a corner, I accelerate through it so I dont brake hard enough into it to feel the fade. normal driving doesnt have it though. I want to use 16's so I will probably do a home made bbk or if I win the lotto or get a big raise I'm gonna run AMS' 11" willwood BBK.Quote:

I've seen that AMS brake setup, it's although in your case I'm thinking 2 piston front calipers and some SS lines, rotors, pads and some motul fluid might do the trick
I'm probably gonna run that set-up at first, but once I make bigger power, i'm going to NEED those brakes. lolQuote:

Oh crap... dude, you can't just cut the lip out of the rear. Did you cut out any spot welds? That's where the inner and outer quarter panel meet... I've had the part of my car torn apart before. Gotta have those welds or else they'll start to separate.
Drop is nice, though.
I'm in the business of torturing my Galant now... poor thing.

I love my daily driver, so comfortable. It has some balls too. I went to go pass some trucks today on the freeway and as soon as i down shifted and hit boost the speedo just climbed to a 100 mph no problem. still nothing like driving the Galant though. The Galants slower but the overall feel of the car is much better compared to the Tiguan.
no worries...Im torturing my G just like you. I figure it's 10 years old this year and it's my beater. if and when it falls apart, I can get my new ride.Quote:
