Thank GOODNESS FOR BREMBOS!!!

Holy **** that scared me...

Alright after a tiring night of partying I'm heading home going on the 134 west, going toward the 2 fwy south which has a tunnel which I used to like speeding through...(By speeding meaning I was going 80) apparently it wasnt just me. So AS SOON AS i PASS THROUGH tunnel vearing to the left, its a blind spot to the bridge to the 2 fwy, 3 cars completely smashed on the leftside lane which I cut into so I had to slam on my brakes and swerve to the right lane again to avoid it.

By the time I passed the wreck I was at 30mph...

HOLY **** MY BRAKES WORK GOOD... THANK YOU GOD & brembo!!


I called 911 and let them know... but I guess someone already let them know cause the operater told me cops are on there way...

Is that the one where you can see "In N' Out" on the upper left hand side?
If that's the case, I remember going through it at 115-118 MPH with my Audi.
Have to love AWD. Yes, I was crazy.
Good save though. Those blind spot tunnels are scary. Have scared the **** out of me a few times. Better be safe than sorry...just don't do it anymore. Whether you have AWD, Brembo, or not.
Speaking of Brembo's. I need some Brembo's.

So what are the advantages of the Brembo's. Never had them on any car before...

Advantage of the brembo's and most BBK kits isn't necessarily increased stopping distance. It's increased protection against brake fade.

If you take non brembo brakes out to the track they are going to overheat pretty quickly and lose their stopping ability...While the brembo's won't overheat as fast and continue to stop you on a dime much longer.

yup, but going the other way... where you cant see the In an Out. I said going West to the 2 south, not 2 north

that tunnel has a blind area as you're going through it... so you cant go as fast... or else well what I saw happen.
