Hey Damon, I've got no brake advice, but hitting 90 mph deserves a round of applause. You can get the 1.9L up to about 96 before the rev limiter shuts down the fuel injectors. But, you need a big hill to test that theory! Mountains north of Phoenix did it for me! The hardest part is unsticking your hands from the steering wheel afterwards. Cramp!
