you got me there, I thought brakes actuated the canuter valve on the muffler bearing when your blinker fluid got low

as in other really useful posts I have seen you make, you display one characteristic that is constant, you seem to fail to read ALL of the previous post and then make assumption based on what your mind seems to fill in from what it just didn't read. I never said I took my car to the track and I said I have
GREEN STUFFs not red stuffs which
are intended for the track and used quite happily by two very good friends who race SCCA.

what are you smoking? Green Stuffs are vastly superior to Bendix, StopCo., Western Auto, or even stock pads and guess what? My stopping power is better now than it ever was. I gather in addition to not having ever driven a car with the AEM upgrade, you have never used EBCs either and know nothing of their long time popularity in Europe (guess who the largest supplier of brake pads to the BTCC is...hmmmmm)

Although it sounds like you pulled that statement right off of the tire racks website, we finally agree on something! but I still wonder what you call daily driving. Ever talked to pizza driver about brakes? No? A friend of mine has Jeep for *** sake and can make his rotors glow if its busy enough.

Very vague. What car? From what other vehicle. Very vague indeed. Just cause they're Hondas dosn't mean you can up and mix-n-match parts

Hmmmm, tell that to Brembo, or better yet, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Lotus, BMW, Mercedes...do i really need to go on? didn't think so.

Go to a race track one time and see what most drivers use for pads and rotors. You will not see a lot of crossdrilled and slotted rotors and EBC or other common brake pads.

I have and I do, guess what I saw on 17 out of 23 CRXs....SLOTTED ROTORS!!! All of them Powerslot or slotted Brembos, go figure! When asked about pads, guess which names came up over and over....Nissin (AEM), EBC reds, and Hawk. Just to let you know, slot cars don't count as racing.

OK, what track, what kind of racing, which Hondas, what kind of problems. Again, way vague. This doesn't help to support your claims of AEM products sucking and s/cding being useless.

OK, but again, you give no reasons, product #s, or even who the mysterious "we" actually includes. Do you mean the guys you work with at Advance?

Ok, who, and why is this important.
When I was in HS, I had many of my ceramic art pieces bought by individuals, 3 by Bank of America which are still in the lobbies of those respective branches in Detroit, Bloomfield Hills, and Pontiac. Does this make me a kiln expert? No. It simply means I am a good with porcelain. Why would I bring that up at all? Because it serves as little purpose as saying you have a sponser.
I will make this last attempt. Tell us WHY all these things you say are important, give up the cars, the models, the product #s. You make all these statements, some of them patently false, yet you have never even told what
pads you use, what brakes you have, much less the car you drive (you DO have a car right?) What i can't get over is you have totally missed one of the key reasons import owners like myself get these systems, whether or not most of the buyers would admit it, the discs LOOK good in addition to their improved function.
Lastly I will say this, I'm done here and I'll tell you why. Urban, arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, even if you win, your still retarded.
