    I'm so glad that I made it to work this morning(long)

    First, I got to thank my B5 S4 front brakes with Stoptech Stage I upgrade and Adam's rotors. Then I have to thank my Yokohama tires for keeping me on the road.

    the past few days it has been rainning like crazy in Eastern MA and NH area around Nashua.

    This morning was the worst of the all, it was downpouring the whole time I was on I-95N. Several accidents on the road. In the beginning it was stop and go and I was pissed.

    Then finally the whole highway started moving. We drove up to 70mph for only 1 mile then I had to do a emmergency stop. The Audi Allroad in front of me panic braked so I had to do as well. The left lane has water because the downpour from last night as well.

    my car wiggles a little bit, very slightly, then I felt all my blood rushing to the front of my body. I thought I was going to hit that Allroad's ass, but good I was taligating and I was able to stop in time.
    my brakes bit hard right away even there were water on the rotors.
    First Time I was saved

    Now second, I need to get on the RT-3 at exit 32 but someone cut me off and then that woman had to stop completed because there was a state trooper that blocked one of the lane. I had to do a second emmergency stop!
    that time i hoped that I drove in a tank and destroy her car to teach her a lesson.

    anyway, I got to work in one piece and my brakes felt great the whole time.

    I just want to say never be cheap on tires and brakes. they can save money in times.

    Once I can afford it, I plan on putting a bbk on every car I own from now on for those exact reasons.

    I'll second that, brakes and tires are nothing to skimp on... Rt. 3 can be a nightmare especially when you loose the lanes heading south and down near Hanover where the breakdown lane travel stops...

    Yeah...the weather has been absolutely horriffic the past few days and it's supposed to be like this all weekend to. It's not supposed to let up until Wednesday of next week. GAH!! When they said tropical weather, I wasn't expecting tropical rainfall.

    As true as it all is, a BBk wont stop you any shorter (distance wise). A BBK really is only for looks and of course reduce brake fade. Tires will make the difference though. Furthermore, quality brake pads make a difference as well.

    ^^ but a BBK will stop you in relatively the same distance as you add ponies to our over wieght car... but yes the tires help so much in the rain and adverse conditions...
