Found this while just generally browsing ebay haha, is the 2 really that powerful enough for these kind of brakes?????

maybe if you added 4 still alive chris farley's and decided to do the 24 hours of le mans then ....yes.

I'd be more worried about the master cylinder giving out lol.

Ummmm how about the whole brake bias thing? 14 or 15" front rotors and 7 or 8" drums in the back. That sounds like a winning combo. And you have to run 19s or bigger on the 2, that alone would make the 2 take some time to get up to city speeds.

Wow is my thoughts exactly. But hey if you can sell something like that and people actually buy it then your doing something right. It is completely overkill, and as stated the balance would be wayyyyy off. The master would be fine though. I would like to see it though on the car, just for the size.

we have members on this forum running 8 piston big brake kits. cityracer comes to mind with his probe.

 

[kcdirtbro54]

Yea but thats a Probe and not a 2. Apples to oranges. 19s (or bigger) on a 2 I think would look ridiculous and even more so with ~15" rotors up front and ~7" drums in back. The power can be made in a Probe where bigger brakes would be a must. It could be made in a 2 as well, with quite a bit of money, but 8 piston calipers I think would still be on the overkill side.
