I love the look of the Brembo or Wilwood's, don't get me wrong. I think
they're the coolest things going. However, the one thing that troubles me
is that when EC upgraded their project GLX, they said that it didn't
significantly decrease their stopping distances over modified stock (11.3",
Velocity slotted rotors, Ferodo pads).
I'm not surprised in the slightest about this. Given that the stock
brakes can lock the tires on clean, dry pavement, more braking power
won't buy you a thing.
What you can and will buy is fade resistance, braking feel, etc etc.
