I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Why won't anyone spell Wilwood correctly?

The brake package I got from Touge Factory that was sold as a Peak Performance big brake kit came with rotors that are no where near the right size. In order to buy rotors that would have worked it would have cost around $600. Some other brake package happened to cost only a little more than that would have cost, and should have been a bolt on affair.
That said, the person who sold me their brakes that they had been driving on were found to be in a grossly unsafe state. It's disappointing, but as SS said, it's better to find the issue now than when it's rolling down the road.

Overall, disappointing part of the build. Did anyone get hurt? No. Would I like to purchase anything else from Peak Performance? Nope. Would I like to purchase anything else from Touge Factory? Nope.

Wow, that totally sucks. But its good that everything works now.

I even looked at the picture to make sure that i spelled wilwood correctly. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

Not everything works now. I will still need a Z32 e-brake set up, or hydro.

Plus the shit the last owner fucked up. Curses!
