I dunno I drove the 5axis speedster xa with big brake front and rear and the brakes are WAY too touchy and unsafe imo.



oh and did your kit for the rear come with the calipers outboard? they should by all engineering standpoints be facing inbound

Looks sick man. Who cares if your xb doesn't " need " a big brake kit. My Xa doesn't either, but the kit sure does make the car stand out a little more and look pretty bad a$$, nice work my friend.

Yep still do!

Sorry guys I quit following this thread along time ago since I posted it! LOL I rarely use this website much anymore but thanks for all the comments....good or bad!!

UPDATE: I just went back and looked at the original post....when I took these pictures I believe I still had 19" rims all the way around....Ive since put some 18"s on the front. There are a few pics in my profile with the 18"/19" combo.

Guess their still in business under a new name now, here's the link for anyone interested!

http://www.revolutionbrake.com/index.html

BTW....my car was rear ended and totalled in May of this year.....the front and rear disks went with the car so there's a wrecked 04' BSP Scion xB out there somewhere still with the Wilwood brakes and rear disk conversion.

Couple pics, RIP.
