[QUOTE="Nick9323, post: 1519664, member: 42837"] I did the same as OP. The brake feel is okay at best and the upgraded pads and rotors allow for more control by having a stronger bite initially and more thermal fade resistance when braking hard over and over. The stock brakes overheat easily and you have to put a lot of pressure into the system to get them to really grab. When you are going say 80, and tap the brakes, you want to be able to slow the wheels down as fast as possible, not just be able to eventually lock them up. This is what reduces your stopping distance. As wheel speed decreases, the friction type changes from kinetic to static friction, increasing the brakes stopping power. This is why when you are coming to a stop, if you don't let off the brake at the tail end the truck will go from say, 5mph to stopped in a hard jerking motion. Locking up the wheels at max pressure is much different than having control. Ask any racer or even go try it on a bike yourself. This is a well known thing. [/QUOTE]
