[QUOTE="zaskar, post: 110696, member: 183"] Jules, theres lots more to breaking then just stompimg on the pedal and expecting dead stop. I mean alot of times its down to knowing your route and preparing for any eventualities. That person overseas would be familiar with his mountain route before blasting through and as such he would know his entry points to curves, length of downhill sections and blind corners of which to slow down, so being able to modulate his brakes to suit each situation. Too high a break 'bite' may not be suitable as well unless u have ABS and even with ABS absoulute breaking distance is not reduced on certains road conditions. I just remember some points, 1) Don't Tailgate 2) Maintain lane discipline 3) Always be prepared for people with itchy backsides that like to change lanes with out signalling or come out from side roads without looking bothways. So for normal road applications i would say my stock e30 setup (all around disks) are suitable for most road and traffic conditions. (Blasting around puchong at 180km/hr is not standard driving conditions) [/QUOTE]
