Message	Fade should. Let's face it: brake torque is not the limiting factor in performance, repeatability is. Look at it this way: if you've got enough brake torque to lock your wheels up (and you do, with stock brakes), then you're not going to see any significant improvement in one-time stopping distance no matter how big your rotors are. With my brembo BBK, I'm able to go a whole session on track (about 45 minutes) without significant fade, provided my fluid isn't in shitty condition. --------------------------------------- Your powers are useless! I'm wearing my tinfoil underwear! I will not shop at AMS. AMS steals designs from hardworking Z32 enthusiasts and screws them out of work in a tough economy. I am boycotting, how about you?
