not trying to bust on you, I gave appropriate advice further up the post. It's just that your thinking is way wrong when it comes to "not encountering much traffic, don't need brakes much" philosophy in this situation. What happens if you have a blow-out? Yeah, it's rough not having much money, but I also noticed you've got some fairly pricey mods on your car. The safest car is the one you can control the best. You can't control a car with marginal brakes, bad tires or worn struts. This is not only for your benefit but for the others reading these posts.
