[QUOTE="BajaFred, post: 1108298, member: 21782"] Most of this is semantics, right, I looked at the link and saw rotors and pads so the only thing missing from a complete "kit" would be calipers The point is the same - you're leading people astray if you tell them they will see significantly shorter differences in a single brake event, ie the emergency highway stop - they will not If OEM brakes can lock tires (true for almost all modern cars), you are no better off on OEM vs $15K Brembo ceramic 6pot BBKs It's just science - the tires, not the brakes, dictate the distance in this single brake event To be complete, I'm sure you could come up with a scenario where this is wrong for the single brake event - ie coasting down a 8% grade for 1 minute - but I'm referring to what most of here assume is the situation, a true panic stop like an emergency highway stop or some kid darts in front of you I'm in complete agreement with you on repeated emergency stops, fade, etc since here, the brakes ability to dissipate heat dictates distance Do you, or whoever makes the kit, offer a refund and/or guarantee that stopping distances are shorter, or is it in writing anywhere [/QUOTE]
