I used to think about Brakes all wrong. Thanks to #ebaymotors I was able to make a video this polished on the common mistakes we all make when looking at big brake kits. Not only that, I was able to do all my research and find the right upgrades while on a budget. This is my first time working with eBay but I’ve been using them for years to find parts and try my weird ideas. #ebaypartner #letsride
Check out eBay Motors:
The 3 things we cover with real world examples are
Bigger brakes don’t decrease stopping distance
The effect of Thermal Mass
The effect of more Pistons
also (tceperformanceproducts has the free braking calculator for you to see if the upgrades are ideal for your car. It takes some extra leg work, but if you cant or don’t change your master cylinder, you can really find the ideal brakes for your car.)

I have avoided buying cool eBay parts if I couldn’t install it myself because I imagine being embarrassed when asked by a shop where I got these parts from, only to say we aren’t installing that here.
So many unique projects in this garage, we never know which will be present in the next video 😀
Annoying audio ! ! ! ! ! Cuts out in parts of the video.
I got crap from some local old school hot rodders over this. Made the mistake of telling them a big brake kit would not be a upgrade on my 65 Galaxie 500 sedan on 225/70R15 street tires compared to the 65 Mustang 4 piston ones I used to keep smaller rotors to have 15″ wheels…I think “even those Mustang brakes are overkill” is what triggered them most. lol
Yep, sound kept going out.
