Default Re: Brakes VS Hp

When it comes to brakes and speed, I am more of the German school. You can never have enough brake.

I'll post some photos when it all comes together--we are probably still 2 months out thanks to 'rona supply chain issues.

For wheels, I went with the Work Meister S1 3 piece.
Work is more of a JDM brand, but a Google search will find a few C3 and C4 running them. Personally I love the design and they can accommodate about any offset you want.

If you don?t mind, please share for the group what brakes works well and the type of wheels that required clearance from bigger brakes. Thanks.

Nice! I hear you. I noticed a lot of the C4 Zs in Japan running the Works Wheels, they make a nice quality product for sure. Every year I try to make the Tokyo Auto Salon (the SEMA Show of Japan). Wheels Galore!
