Its a sin not to do stage 1 on a turbo car.
the power is already there for you to unlock.
Best bang for buck mod.

By then u won't be bothered liao.
As our cars have a lifespan of 10 yrs, the later you drag, the higher is the depreciation of the mod.
the whole car should be done up by the first year. :)

For brakes, it's better to have it and not use, than to need it and not have it. Overkill is never bad for brakes. I'm actually going for super 6 because of the rotor size and how it will fill up my rims nicely. That said, front 6pot, rear stock, buay chio also :s13:

Just drive slower and keep a good safety distance... BBK will not be necessary.

Did we OT too much from the original topic? :s13:

Just want to add on that, when upgrading from 4 pot to 6 pot, do take into consideration the change in brake bias. 2 pot to 4 pot not so noticeable, 4 pot to 6 pot it may be quite noticeable especially if you only upgrade the front brakes. :)


PS. For those who don't know about brake bias, it is the difference in braking force between the front and the rear wheels.

My advice is not to mod on day 1. Ask yourself, why are you modding and what are you trying to achieve.

It is better to learn and get used to the characteristics of the car before you "upgrade" it further. Pointless to upgrade without knowing the baseline or even making full use of the stock capabilities of the car. IMHO mods are easy just find a good mechanic and pay some money. But the driver can't be modded, he/she takes time to learn and harness the full capabilities of the car.


PS. I am assuming you are a daily common driver, not some professional racecar driver. If you are, please disregard my above comments. :D

Yeah, was thinking about it also, but was really gian to fill up the rims nicely so 340mm was really tempting. Like you said however, the brake bias might really be bad.

Anyway, not going to mod already, I drive like an uncle for now, probably will stay that way, save the $ for now.
