Spike, Dan and myself have these under the Evos.

They work pretty well I personally think.

Powerfull, no fade, nothing to fault them on my end.

overall a good set-up though, massive improvement on standard

Spike wouldn't have that problem if he fitted Grifter brakes... he doesn't use the car to go fast!!

For hairpins, there is the handbrake for amateurs and the scandinavian flick for grown ups. So why you need brakes ? :lol:

It's really stupid to discover cars don't change direction that well when they are halfway in the air... :?

It's even more scary to wake up out of your daydream and realise you're mids a tight corner you can normally hardly make at 75mph on dry tarmac... and you're on wet ice and snow... :brick:

I swear I am becoming a priest after this ! :bow:
