Message	wtf does any of this have to do with taking your car to the shop? Think maybe they'll loosen a few bolts in there somewhere b/c you argued w/ them about the physics of deceleration? lol. Not that I really care where you take your car to. If you asked me, I'd tell you to do it yourself. The whole situation just seems kinda funny.
Follow Ups	How many of you guys have brake upgrades? - ZleppyZ 17:10:07 02/05/04 First question you have to ask yourself is, what do you - PA_Z 17:15:45 02/05/04 I disagree. I drive different Z's everyday and I have to - AshsZ 17:20:54 02/05/04 Everything you wrote agrees with what I said. Re-read - PA_Z 17:22:49 02/05/04 "Dont expect shorter stopping distances". That's what - AshsZ 17:23:57 02/05/04 And he's right. If you disagree, you're wrong. - Marshall 17:26:23 02/05/04 Well said. That was exactly my point, only you said it - PA_Z 17:32:18 02/05/04 I'm just going to break the ice and give this thread a nice - SpeedyTTZ 20:38:05 02/05/04 I think you are confusing what I am saying, that's all. - AshsZ 17:32:38 02/05/04 yeah, avoiding brake fade would be the primary reason - Marshall 17:37:09 02/05/04 Thankyou sir. =) (n/m) - AshsZ 17:38:56 02/05/04 For some, it's the *bling* factor.

(n/m) - Marshall 20:45:00 02/05/04 I considered a stoptech system, and decided that - BigTDogg (MA) 21:03:31 02/05/04 Like I said several posts back. You didn't disagree with - PA_Z 17:44:47 02/05/04 I dont know why I'm trying so hard here, but I guess - AshsZ 18:01:26 02/05/04 2nd..... more surface area = shorter stopping distance (n/m) - BooZted (soon supercharged) 17:27:01 02/05/04 Wrong. More surface area = more braking torque to the rotor - PA_Z 17:30:57 02/05/04 Wrong. When the brakes fade, you are no longer limited - AshsZ 17:36:10 02/05/04 If you re-read my post (again) you'll see that I acknowledge - PA_Z 17:46:46 02/05/04 I give up. You win, but you are wrong.

(n/m) - shirow 19:13:06 02/05/04 Yep. Makes sense. - PA_Z 19:29:35 02/05/04 It's not all about stopping distance. - RobWR14 19:26:38 02/05/04 I have no idea why this subthread exists Rob, because - PA_Z 19:30:40 02/05/04 lol- forgive me if I missed one of your posts (n/m) - RobWR14 19:32:02 02/05/04 Wrong.
