The Best First Mod for Passenger Cars

Doesn't mean more pot = better.
Its relative between the size of the caliper/pad to the piston. If its a bigger caliper -- due to bigger rotor, naturally a multiple port calliper would have more even coverage/force applied.
Yup, exactly. And going bigger without modding the servo sometimes also no point, Not enough vacuum assist.....:rolleyes:
Here comes a kicker. My first (and arguably the best) modification is a pair of Recaro seats. In fact, I bought the seats even before getting my car. Again, if you drive an A45 or an Evo... GTFO, this thread not relevant to you.
My rims and tires were among the last thing I changed. I rode on stock rims and stock crap tires, while adding minor handling bits such as anti roll bar, strut bar, before finally in the 3rd year of ownership I changed the rims and tires.
Because I don't race, and because I'm not an idiot, I sailed normally on public roads. You kind of grow accustomed to the lack of grip, so you don't do stupid shit in it. Now that I've used the best tires in my size, can't go back. I take corners faster than "normal" because im too lazy to move my feet to the brake pedal. Because my car is front wheel, just lift my foot off throttle, steer, and step on the go fast pedal again.
How significantly different is that driving style? Very. Me and my friends identical car both did a brake upgrade back then. Got our cars modded a week apart. I just changed to my 2nd set of brake pads. He's on his 2nd set of brake rotors!

Hahaha yeah but you wear out tires faster than your friends I suppose and more expensive tires too.
I used to wear out tyres like in 9 months 2 pcs......lolHahaha yeah but you wear out tires faster than your friends I suppose and more expensive tires too.
Not really, actually braking more wear the tyres out more. Think about it.Hahaha yeah but you wear out tires faster than your friends I suppose and more expensive tires too.
FWD, turbo, WOT..yup.. tires dies rather fast.
ixeo is right, furthermore, there's other factors that determine actual braking performance, such as pads, brake system health and suspension. Before investing in aftermarket parts, try covering the basics first, drive a similar car maybe and notice if there's any difference.
Hmm it comes back to how you drive actually, can be both I think. If you often corner hard & fast then it will eat up tires fast also. Furthermore if you use high performance tires compared to low-mid level ones, the tread wear is also much lower hence even if you drive it the same way, the tires will still finish faster.
