Slapping on parts designed for a different platform may actually hurt performance more than help. Obviously, the weight savings is great, but your stopping distances may actually increase instead of decrease vs. stock. That's not something you can easily determine through seat-of-the-pants testing. You need data acquisition or a radar gun to do so.
We are talking about one of the most critical safety items on your car folks, and I don't see a shred of evidence that any scientific design or actual testing went into this kit with regards to being used on the FT86.  I've seen this sort of thing on other forums over the years, and threads like this make me nervous as h*ll. Please guys, be careful! |
