got my brakes done!

[speedminded]

How so..

By agreeing that bigger brakes stop better and insinuating the only reason to need bigger brakes is when you have more power.

You need to understand that my car also does not have the stock 16's it came from factory with. Ever since I put my new and HEAVY 18's on my braking has dramatically decreased. WHen you increase unsprung weight acceleration and braking decrease. But now with my new setup, my car is capable of locking up the wheels...I tested it yesterday So yes you are now right that my brake can apply more braking torque that my tires can handle.

But my car still brakes better. If I would've braked my car last week from 60-0 it would've taken like 11 seconds(rough estimate) and say x amount of feet, now I guarantee it I would brake from 60-0 SUBSTANTIALLY faster as well as in a shorter distance. I call that braking better...

Acceleration and braking decrease whenever weight is added anywhere. The reason larger wheels produce less power on a dyno is because it's adding weight and stress to the drive train. If your new wheels weigh a total of 100lbs more than the old ones you could add that same weight to the drive shaft or axles and have the same effect heavier wheels would.

1) Slotted/cross drilled rortors should not be on cars for street driven appllications...a smooth rotor would be better.

2) Of course I bled my brakes. ButI also bled my brakes about 3 months ago when I had to install a new RR brake caliper(piston froze). And a year before that replaced the LR brake caliper and bled the brakes as well. And changing the fluid did not make a difference, especially since all the fluids in my car are constantly mantained. So no, changing the brake fluid is not the reason why my car now brakes better. I also used the same brake fluid too, so that variable has stayed the same. The only variable that has changed in this last week are the newer calipers, rotors, and pads. So it must be logically assumed that the reason for better braking should be attributed to this and only this. Not tires. Not brake fluid. Not korea testing nuclear bombs. k pumpkin?

1) Cross drilled should never be used on a track, that's why they are illegal by sanctioned race bodies and should be banned from track days as well. You're right blank rotors are more than sufficient for the street.
2)You constantly change your brake fluid? How long has the fluid been in there before you this last change?
