Instead of improving HP numbers, I'm looking into improving my stopping distance...
I'm getting close to take delivery of my '05 GT (Silver+IUP+Red Leather+5sp+Shaker 1000+active alarm and original wheels - don't care much about the Shaker 1000, but got it discounted!). One of my employees from Europe is currently in Montreal and was fortunate to rent an auto GT from Hertz (yes - a GT was available at Hertz! I could not believe it!) and after a week of kicking the ***** out of it, we scared ourselves a couple of time with the brakes.
Having suffered for 3 out of 4 lease years of poor braking power on an Acura TL type S until I changed the front discs and pads (perf/slotted, street racing pads on front, but kept the original calipers), I want to put a full brake kit (discs, pads and calipers) definitely front, probably back as well as soon as I get the car (on Tuesday!), even though the car will also be a lease.
I searched this forum and internet but could not find any upgrade package available for '05 GTs. Any suggestions?
Your help is appreciated!
