    Hello Hameleon1,

    I think you would have better input from Prius Chat folks if you created a dedicated thread.

    Hope this helps!

    For Real Time Viewing and Playback of the Recordings, I utilized a Accele Electronics Mini Video Screen 2.5" Unit. I wanted to keep this screen hidden during driving to eliminate distraction so I mounted it inside the Armrest Console within the Tray.

    HEY THERE PRIUS CHAT FOLKS !!!

    :):):):)

    In addition to the last Modification of the CENTRIC / STOP TECH *Sport Stop* Slotted and Drilled Brake Rotors, I also wanted to upgrade the Brake Pads and so naturally I turned to the Awesome Folks at WINMAX USA !!! They are a Japanese company with a US site now located in Southern California !!!

    Newly added are the :

    WINMAX W2 SPORTS PERFORMANCE BRAKE PADS !!!

    [​IMG]

    For more technical information please visit their website at :

    www.WINMAXUSA.com

    WINMAX offers a variety of Performance Brake Pad options depending on your style of driving !!!

    I was suggested to utilize their W2 Sports Brake Pad

    "The W2 has a slightly higher temperature effectiveness range and coefficient of friction for increased braking power. This is a performance pad designed for those who enjoy sport driving without the harsh characteristics subjected by a typical racing brake pad.

    Improved initial response for sport driving with a longer pad & rotor life."

    That characteristic alone is what I was interested in ... "longer pad & rotor life."

    Feel free to contact them so they can better assist you in finding the pad that best suits your needs !!!

    Here are my Pictures !!! (Including installation of the Centric / Stop Tech High Performance *Sport Stop* Slotted and Drilled Brake Rotors !!!)

    Hey Rodney - I spent the last few nights going through all 47 pages of your mods - I loved it. Question - I'm new to the Prius - I plan to pick up a pre-owned one shortly - on your first post you show your Scion - I love the wheels on those - what are they - do they make them in a size that would fit the Prius? Thanks and keep on moddin'. :cool:
