Are there better options for pads and rotors then OEM?

[QUOTE="New recaros, post: 2010130, member: 33856"] You are trying to justify a position that only a select few are capable of. All the back and forth was misinterpreted. 1. A braking test where 1/10 of 1 second is eight feet and the fact they were locking up the ABS system truly makes the test useless. If they were doing threshold or performance braking it would be more believable 2. Without a doubt there are higher friction pads. They feel great, makes one think they are braking better due to less peddle pressure required. But, again, if the stock pad and a fancy pad will both allow threshold braking, where is the gain? Let’s hear it? 3. I think pads, rotor and calipers and better fluid can help braking performance. You can reduce fade, have better control, IE: more controllable threshold braking, etc… 4. My argument is, none of this performance stuff helps much when you fully activate the ABS system. Panic brakeing, Like they did in the videos. I also question if a system like Alcon would work well on very slick/snow and ice, knowing they shift the braking bias considerably to the front. There is a huge difference in a track car and a truck that is used as a daily by most. A track car with a competent driver could probably out brake most ABS systems. And those cars have very well maintained systems to allow for precision and performance. So, braking is the opposite of acceleration. What do drag racers do the increase acceleration? They heat up the tires by a burn out. They are just increasing tire traction. Hence, they can only accelerate as fast as there tires will allow. Yes, there is an art to that, just like braking. Full spin on acceleration or lock up during braking are not the fastest or best. [/QUOTE]
