They finally showed up. These are the racing concepts i posted about a couple weeks ago. I thru them on last night but could only drive around the subdivision because of rain starting but the stopping was incredible! But this was at 30 mph and under. I'll try and get her out today to do a more thorough test.

The brake pedal is way different than before, it used to be that i had a soft pedal and the more i stopped the more i had to push, now its way more firm and once pushed IT STOPS! Well time will tell and i'll keep you posted.
