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) - SactoTodd 17:53:42 02/05/04 *most. (n/m) - Kenny 17:57:46 02/05/04 For the enthusiast, its all about braking ability. :) (n/m) - AshsZ 18:05:47 02/05/04 unfortunately, you're right. (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.

So what do you think? - PA_Z 19:26:39 02/05/04 DIY! :) (n/m) - Guapo 19:29:56 02/05/04 LOL.

(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.

I guess he figures that repeating the same - PA_Z 18:16:00 02/05/04 Bro, it has nothing to do with what I think. - AshsZ 19:58:28 02/05/04 Well at least we agree on one thing.
