Improve your braking

Most tuners are more concentrated on Power and sometime handling and braking is left out, with all those power, a better suspension is needed to control the car so that it is safer especially at corners where the tyre and suspension work harmoniously to produce more grip.


And also stopping power, which is also important especially during emergency braking, slowing the car down to enter the corner, the faster u can slow down the car, the later u brake more time saved, advantage etc especially on track hehe
What i realis is that the braking system on a stock car is not enough, they tend to fade during hard braking, because of the gas and the pad glazing. 
Heres some step to improve braking:
Stainless Steel Brake line will improve the feel of the pedal as the hose wont expand like normal rubber hose even under extreme condition. 
Price around B$250-300
Can be ordered from most performance shop and availale in many brands.
The next step would be upgrading the brake pad which can handle higher heat range thus reduce brake fade.
Price range $200-400 depending on the type and brand of brake pads:

Next would be the Brake Rotors to help remove the gases and clean the brake pads this reduce brake fade.

Or go for a complete upgrade which i think is cheaper:
Price range $2000
