I love big brakes. They can stop a car faster, you can brake later in to a turn, and the car just feels better when you have them. What I think is even better than big brakes are FAKE big brakes! You know the sky is falling when people are making a living off of FAKE big brakes. As a true enthusiast, you can't even imagine the concept, right? I was cruising eBay and I found this crock of shit:

They look real at first, but then without reading carefully, I scrolled down and saw this:

I was like, WTF? Then I read carefully and saw the word "cover" in the description. You might ask, how the hell does this attach to your stock brakes? Well, if a dumbass is thinking of fake big brakes, then you have to think on the dumbass level. Glue, how else?

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Is this bullshit for real? Then I looked at the guy's store page here: ebay fake brake store. It is definitely for real.


Its not just limited to Brembos though. They even have fake Endless brakes:

Some people are fucking lame.

Good alternative for the poser show crowd, but that really is bogus. I almost spit coffee on my screen I laughed so hard!

Haha, that's what was missing after companies introduced brake disc dummies (for vehicles with rear drum brakes). They had no caliper back then, but now we have the solution!?

I think I am going for stock 239mm discs with floating calipers @ front, with 300mm disc dummies + these fake calipers rear on my girfriend's Civic EK3.
