I knew I wasn't the only one. I just don't think it's cool to call a braking company Stop-tech. We get it. Brakes. Stop. Yeah.

Project Mu on the other hand. Whaaaaat. Good stuff.

So are you saying you're a badge whore?

Project Mu literally translates to "Project Friction Coefficient." Okay guys, they're brakes I get it I know, come on now.

17 x 9 +60 is a perfect setup with no tire poke

Haha I can't resist.

Stoptech - Brakes. Stop. Yeah
PMU - Project Friction Coefficient
Spoon - A instrument used to eat with

One is clever and non-obvious. One isn't. It isn't that complicated. And no it doesn't "literally translate" to that. It's a value of measurement.

Spoon is named after a famous corner of a famous racetrack. Also they aren't a brake company. They worked with a company who is to make calipers they put their name on.

No matter how hard you guys try you aren't going to convince me that Stoptech isn't a stupid name for a brake company.

On that basis, Autobacs Secondhand Market is a stupid name for a company that creates some ridiculously expensive stuff - including brakes.

ASM doesn't create brakes... Come on I know you guys aren't this dumb. Also by my standards that name wouldn't be dumb, because it isn't obvious.
