Performance Parts Zone

My Denali needed new brakes so i got to looking around for the parts i needed and the whole time i was wishing Stoptech made one of their Stage 2 Upgrade Kits for my truck.  Seriously, these kits are great.  They come with slotted rotors, Street Performance Pads, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, and a few bottles of Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid. This may not sound like that big of a deal to some, but price all that seperately and then price an Upgrade Kit, it seriously saves you some money, and its from Stoptech, so you know its high quality. 

Each kit is designed to replace all four corners of your car.  By adding slotted or drilled rotors, you will prevent glazing of your brake pads, which will improve wet and dry braking performance.  StopTech’s SportStop Rotors include a protective black coating on the hub to prevent corrosion.  Stainless Steel Brake Lines increase pedal feel and reduce the time between pedal pressure and deceleration caused by brake engagement.  The stock rubber lines, flex during braking causing loss of performance as the steel lines stay intact.  Additionally, the Motul RBF600 increases the boiling point of your brake fluid ensuring a higher standard in brake performance. 

I like carbon fiber as much as the next guy, but if you had asked me a year ago if I thought it would still be popular in 12 months, I would have told you “No”.  I thought it was a quick fad, some stylish addition to a car that has real purpose on a street car, except for looks.  I was wrong.  It seems there is no end in sight as to where the carbon fiber market is going.  Carbon Fiber Hoods, Trunk Lids, Fenders, and even Carbon Fiber Doors are only growing in popularity.  More and more manufacturers are jumping on board and offering almost any imaginable piece in carbon fiber.  Exterior, interior, under the hood, or in your trunk, any stationary part on your car can be made from carbon fiber. 

Unfortunately, thanks to the airline industry, carbon fiber material has been hard to come by, thus skyrocketing prices and lowering production of parts in high demand.  It sucks for auto enthusiasts, but, not to fear, the end may be in sight.  Rumors have it that manufacturers of carbon fiber materials have been upping production for several months now and we should see prices start to drop very soon. 

With that said, i’m looking forward to seeing what happens in ‘07 with it.  I think we are going to see more c/f wheels and roof skins being made and probably even see more replacement body panels.

Any thoughts?

 Include a few of your favorite pics, mods list, and anything else you’d like the world to know about your car.  Keep on sending them and ill resume posting them soon.

Also, dont forget to email pics of you roasting the rubber off your car for our Burnout of the Week.  Ive only had a few submissions so far, but i know theres plenty of you all out there dying to shoot a pic of your car in all its tire smoking glory.  Afterall, what fun are burnouts if no one else sees them?

Well, ive missed a few days of writing and posting the ride of the day, but Sema was last week and we are slammed here at Injected.  I lowered our prices on everything last week and the orders have me covered up.  Anyways, im back and ill return to posting everyday for you all.

Please remember to keep on sending pics for ride of the day and burnout of the week.

Thanks

Justin
