Although I appreciate your approach, agree the thread should get back to the initial purpose, and am by no means a grease monkey myself, I think some validity has to be given to Jason and Armstrong given the fact that they are currently pushing these vehicles in real world race events, which is where auto manufacturers have learned the most about what works and what doesn't. Again, I'm no expert and I say it with all due respect, but I can't imagine a situation in daily driving or aggressive street driving where more would be revealed about the brakes on these cars then on the track in national events. Further to that, not just on the track in national events, but winning those events with fully built Yaris' running OEM brakes.

Just my 2 cents.

Agreed. It was just the seemingly being bashed I disliked.
I work on cars all day.
N drive 80-100 miles/day in crazy (as it is everywhere) rush hr traffic, typically with the more aggressive approach.
