I've been a car enthusiast since before I got my drivers license. I've always customized my vehicles with suspension, performance, audio/visual and cosmetic mods to create a finely tuned stock modified vehicle.

Rivian gave me everything I've ever dreamed off but didn't get a chance to buy / install.

As a kid I fell in love with Brembo brakes, Tein / KW coilovers / airbags and performance mods like Vortech superchargers and Borla exhaust to go fast.

RJ delivered a bad ass rig that hauls butt with Quad motor, Brembo Brakes and air struts.

I am excited to see what experience they can deliver with the R2.

Of all cars I’ve owned or driven in over 30 yrs, this is the one that checks more boxes than any. The only thing missing is exhaust note, which I haven’t found wanting. And if I listen, the motor whine is almost like a Roots supercharger whine.

But but but those big Brembo calipers are not needed with regen! They are too big! I want smaller calipers so my 18” wheels fit on the Rivian! ? ? ?

I love the look of those giant brake calipers on my truck. And the couple times I've needed to stop quickly I was even more impressed. That is a lot of truck to stop quickly!

And “don’t worry, I’m an engineer, I know what I’m doing”?

Agree. I had to do a quick stop while I was towing 5000 lbs when someone pulled out in front of me. Much quicker stop and better control than my Avalanche does in a similar situation.

The best about ceramic is less weight and no dust , I have two cars with ceramic and center lock.

I have a rentorq tool converter to tighten the center lock to 625 ft lbs .

The other electronic torque gun is perfect for the home use , bad news it’s 5k.
