ive built 3 s-10's so far and from my knowledge, i know the reputable builders recommend upgrading your brakes on anything larger than 18" wheels...few people make the upgrades though. glad the kid is ok though. not my taste in vehicular customization, but its a human ya know? be patient with the kid hack, don't know how old he is, but he'll calm down. A racing buddy of mine hired me for his HVAC electronics company one summer and i was fresh out of school, had no electrical back ground and i was a nervous wreck the entire time just trying to do things right and do things quickly. I ended up making several mistakes and he let me go when we got caught up on work, and i still hang with him quite a bit and he told me "i wish i would have waited till now to hire you because you have calmed down and could be a lot of help to us now" so just keep being patient with the kid and he may come around to be your best help. i'd love to go back to work for my buddy now, but financially...working in the chemical industry is treating me pretty well. ok...enough of my soap box
