[DMCForum] Re: brake upgrades.

Hi Elvis!

What suspension setup do you have? I have PJ Grady lowering front 
springs, and his nitrogen gas shocks all round, with Toby-Tabs and 
new trailing arm bushings. I have a set of Yokohama AVS tires on the 
car, with about 13,000 miles on them, but they still look new. I 
found the car handled very well!! The brakes do suck though...
