I agree in theory with Brant, especially if your car is fairly stock engined. One reason for me putting on the bigger brakes is that I run in PCA GT5 class and one of the only ways I can pass is to outbrake someone. cooling and brake fade were never the problem, I started warping rotors because of the heat sink issue. the bigger calipers (I use the same old Carrera rotors, btw) and bigger pads provide a higher level of heat disipation - at least in theory. Plus, I really like the solid brake feel like in my 993.
Then again, a big reason I can't use the smaller brakes is the lack of talent that I need to overcome by harder braking..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Me too on the talent thing.I brake hard in a strait line and then turn in.I dont think i could do the drift thing to scrub speed with out tons of track time.track people dont like it when you spin and thats what i would be do`n (safety reasons) so to make this short a sweet ..thanks to all for the ideas and input i will take it all into consideration and make the brakes better ..Again thanks to all of you ..I gotta go P |
