Lol I bet I could come drive with me and my boys we drive like there are no cops ill hit 140 all the time I've been driving that way in all the cars ive ever built. My 95 eg goes 164 mph wit 224 at the front.

But I've even had the stock rotors already shake on me under braking.
That's why I was looking for better.
Braking is what makes your car faster then the next guy how well you can come in hot and pull through that corner.

The rotors survived and worked just fine with the lame pads.

Adding the high friction ie heat generator pads did the rotors in but I had great stopping ability and still did when the steering wheel started shuddering while braking.

This situation occurred on a seriously aggressive track type setting. I don't know that the situation could be duplicated on normal roads.
