[s-cars] Brake Options?

[Mark Strangways]

I did the Bira System 6 upgrade a few years ago.
I have NEVER regretted it.
Some say that better pads, and SS line sets help.
I had SS lines, and all it did was cost me money.

I think the added confidence that the Porsche set-ups provide makes an
already great car even better.
My brakes still turn heads at lights or gas stations which , while not
adding to the cars ability, is kinda cool.

IMHO, it's money WELL spent. Do it right once and you will not regret it.
