Truthfully, it would make a difference on a test track, but real-world driving and the "feel" when braking, you won't notice.Originally Posted by Hippo Machine
The backs are only used at a % compared to the fronts, I forget what the difference is but they don't work evenly iirc. So you most likely won't really notice.

Backs are like 15% or something. Almost nothing. I noticed a big difference in my braking when I replaced a leaking line lol.

Changes constantly, no point in trying to guess when it changes and we dont know how the proportioning valves are setup.

ya you wont make much of a difference with stock replacement unless you do something called UPGRADING. also why would you waste your money changing your brakes when they don't need to be changed? especially the emergency brake pads, never herd of someone replacing them on any car unless they drove with the e-brake on.
as for your stereo get a cheap amp to power some good speakers and a good amp to power your sub.
upgrading your alt will need to happen at some point (depending on electrical demands). running 2 amps (or 3) you will exceed the output of the alt just running the stereo. (dimming headlights suck at night)

It's a parking brake not emergency brake.

Mine doesn't work so I'm replacing them. I thought the car needed new stuff so I got it. Peace of mind after wetleaves.

I'm getting new tires soon

Got my new amp in. Sounds real good. Still need to make that box for the sub
06-26-2012
Sub is IN and sounds amazing! Have it wired at 4 Ohms, bridged, getting 500w RMS. (Accidentally had it bridged at 1 ohm for a bit. oops.)
06-26-2012
Turned out nice, eh?
06-26-2012
looks like a hole with a sub in it...
06-26-2012
No ported box?
Enclosed FTL <<<<
06-28-2012
Not necessarily. When I was younger I liked enclosed boxes for SPL, that BOOM from 3 blocks away was kewl... today... I'm older and want that clean low bass sound without rattling my car to pieces. It all depends on what your after as to what you need.

I like it, definitely loud enough. The sub can handle a lot too.
