Nothing out of the ordinary, just that the guy who ended up stopped, perpendicular (!) to my car on the freeway this morning was a little too close. I floored the brakes and had good solid resistance all the way down, I just felt that every last bit of braking power I can eke out of the car would translate into a few feet less stopping distance in a panic stop.
I was figuring that ultimately the size of the rotors and pads would have the greatest effect on braking distance, looks like, overall, that's true. I have the standard 15" aero wheels; are there bigger rotor sizes that'll fit, or bigger pads that will fit on the standard vented rotors?
Thanks
