Err, what happened to getting a Porsche?

Either way it always rocks to spend money you didn't have to work for. PIMP Sukamto lives on.

Mike, might as well not buy a new car...supercharge your engine or something and do that interior you always wanted. Undercover street killer man.

well the reason i was considering brembos is cuz i have another c-class in singapore. also i think it wouldnt be hard to sell a set of used brembos, cuz i wont even have used them for long. only like 5-6 months. i need better stopping power now.... cuz i got the powerchip today.

it's just a powerchip beetch, not an extra 2 cylinders

and on 91 octane too right? well...maybe you're right, and then there is the added weight

of your sound system of course

Go for it loh, I can always buy it off you in a few months.

2004 clk500 coupe
brembo gran turismo

the BREMBO GT brakes are the stuff, i have put the 355mm kit on front and the 328mm on rear, the stopping power is practically unlimited, front installation was no problem but rear needed to have backing plates trimmed down flush with caliper mounting index, a very beneficial modification, price is much more reasonable than renntech, kleeman etc.

I have a better idea. Save the $, invest it in the stock market, and make 50% in 6 months like I did (if you invest in the right stocks).

Brembo today, or Porsche in a few years?

Well I just wanted to catch the upswing. Ain't a pro at all. One that I made quite a bit on is GLW. On Friday it went up like 7%.
