It's about safety, his and everyone else who is on the road around him. Even you should have a clue how long it takes to stop 1900 kg of vehicle, combine that with the rolling mass of 22" rims without a half decent suspension setup and power it with 600 or so rwhp. That young sir, is a lethal weapon waiting to kill someone.
Any vehicle, if it does not have suitable suspension and brakes will not be able to safely control 600 rwhp.
Well done to Steve for considering them, just make sure you buy a wheel to suit larger brakes. DuSpeed does some good brake kits.
I've never boiled stock brakes on the ss on the street.......... really how could you unless going nuts?
besides 600hp on 22's is smoke in a straight line. Thats about it.
