    Brembo brakes for the low!

    so im driving around Thailand and im noticing alot of cars with rims and Brembo brakes. im thinking to myself, other then the rims and some stickers most of these are very stock cars. im amazed that they would upgrade there brakes, especially with Brembo calipers. so im thinking, man they must be very inexpensive over here. maybe there is a Brembo factory in the region. so i set out to get to the bottom of this, if it was the case of inexpensive parts i was most certainly gonna come home with some new calipers.
    so i hit the first swap meet i find and hit up the " car shop" i could tell it was a car shop because of the goudy add on's they where sticking all over this truck outside.
    so im walking around and boom there they are. hanging in a lil box on a tack board? calipers can hang on a tack? nooooooooope.
    they are theses plastic covers that come in a wide variety of colors that you stick over your existing calipers........
    damn.
    so if anybody want a cheap brake upgrade, there you have it. i say they gotta add 4-5 hp and will probably really help you dig into those corners. tune on thailand

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

        a few shops around here got them.

        it's an upgrade for the car owner that doesn't have deep pockets

          How is it an upgrade?
          My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

            It makes it seem like it brakes faster even though it probably is because it is not going very fast to begin with.
            Be unique, like every other person.

                Why not just use caliper spray?

                  I saw some red ones on a blacked out 5 series. They look cheap.

                    Maybe I have seen them but could not tell the difference? I think I likely have which makes it cool in some sorts. Like the first time I saw spinning rims in person.
