powerslot/aem make bigger rear discs also, might be worth looking at

I would loose the Active ABS in the Type S. You can actually brake rounds corners and not go in a straight line.

im asking this as i know in Dino's car.. his braking was very good on track but ABS kept kicking in too much.. so if you went too extreme you'll ABS will just keep you back!
