You have a very good point BUT since the GK5 is a pretty light car and im planning on upgrading brake lines (as well as clutch line) to braided i wanna test first how does it works... besides i think i merely spent about 40 to 50 dollars in a mod that would work with either OEM or any brake upgrade i do...

Brakes

Your best bet is the do the rear brakes swap to rotor and get the 11.1 front rotor you will stop in a dime

That was the initial plan... until i saw the rear drum to disc conversion will set me back about 1,000.00 usd plus shipping.... ... the fit brakes pretty good imo... but the cooling ducts are just an extra help...
