They're bodykits are also custom.

And in the pic posted, it looks like the wheels are tucked in the fenders. No way that is comfortable riding around Boston like that. Not to mention they are probably heavy as hell so I would want a BBK to stopping the car. The stock brakes can't stop the car as it is.

If this holds true for you then you need to slow down and save a life,speed kills.I have CDL's and my brakes stop me good enough,I don't have time to be racin on the street or the track thats why I want "show" and not "Go"

I admit, those don't look bad, ufortunately 98% of the 20s that fit are car, don't look good.

And the added weight puts undue stress on the suspension components, and makes braking much harder. And it can screw up your braking, not even if your flying, but if you need to stop quick.

I'm going with tein SS and a Rotora brake kit,also front and rear camber kit.The rims I'm gettin will be 7.5 wide with no less than a 45mm offset with 215 series tires,so I should be fine plus I rarely have a fully loaded car.
