    you don't need bigger drums. The car weighs less than a ton for goodness sake! Not needed imo.

    mmm probs, i'm just jealous for now, having a low'n'slow bus, brakes aren't a high priority. but i must say, the speed in which i can corner has increased dramatically since these coilovers went in. i LOVE fanging around tight little suburbs or estates and feeling the grip!! i think maybe i might be after some big thick sway bars.. ideas??
