The STi brake swap is a hack job. Period. Some are okay with it, others are not. If you want to enhance the appearance of a street car it may be worth it. If you want better performance it is the wrong path to take.
No, thats not what he was saying.

This is a thread discussing installing STI Brembos onto the twins, and the potential negatives assuming they were properly installed. No one is talking about mechanical ability and the potential of INCORRECTLY installed brakes.

He posted a video of a purpose built race car flying into a wall @ 100mph after experiencing a total brake failure.

The two are not related whatsoever lmao

How will greater front bias cause my car to inexplicably lose ALL brake force and fly into a wall?
