TIRES! play a bigger part in stopping distances than having the brembos.

If I recall correctly, the automatics actually stop SHORTER than the BREMBO counter parts.
Just a little FYI.

the Bremebo's help with BRAKE FADE.
which, in terms of a sudden stop to avoid an accident, the brembos would have not saved you.

No on a serious note, sad to hear OP, expecially since your in charge of other vehicles repair as well as yours on top of your insurance premium going up.

The important thing is the OP and others were ok according to him. Cars can be replaced, people cannot.

BaucE, sorry to see this.

It really doesn't matter if you tell the story-as you can see, some of these guys have nothing else better to do anyway except clog up threads with jibber-jabber.

I understand why you're an emotional mess. I hope you'll be alright.

They look pretty clear to me.

Looks like he did a variant of the 'shark mouth grille' too.
I like.


On the real, glad you [seem] to be okay! Hope no one was severely hurt.

I am glad you are OK, it happens what can u do. I remember how pissed i was when i had an accident just recently. Just don't worry about it too much parts and cars can be replaced, good luck with the fixing process.
