Hey guys,
not sure whether this topic have been discussed before but i believe that it's one of the most important aspect when modifying a car.No point having 200horses under ur hood and not be able to brake in time when a granny jumps out from the side of the road.Hehe i have ran up a kerb due to brakes locking up after my ABS failed.
So, some sifus and tuners might have some information and myths to bust.
1) Myth or truth:Ventilated or slotted disc eliminates brake fade.
2)Myth or truth:Branded pads improves braking grip and eliminates brake fade.
3)Myth or truth:Braided brake lines improve braking force.
4)Myth or truth:Disc warp due to sudden change of temperature.ie:hard braking and running over a puddle of water.
5)Myth or truth:ABS improves braking distance.
6)Myth or truth:ABS eliminates skidding(which i think is truth.experience it myself)
So guys do feel free to give ur views as most of us can learn from this and improve our braking capability and save a granny.
