Tucked in behind the wheel you can barely glimpse the Koni Yellows, GC sleeves, and Eibach springs.Another area of need was the braking system, which simply was not consistent due to the stock calipers and aftermarket pads could not handle the speeds that the engine was capable of producing. This season Chris has been running front calipers from Neo Motorsports coupled with Hawk DTC 70 brake pads. The Neo 4 pot calipers combined with 13″ rotors not only fill the wheel but have provided Chris with much greater confidence that he can haul his car down from speed at any time. The rear is still OEM calipers coupled with Hawk DTC 30 pads. This upgraded system has given Chris the stopping power that he has required. Consistently.
The rear calipers and rotors are stock parts and they provide all of the clamping force that Chris requires.
