Base brakes to akebonos..how happy?

How often does one go from 150-0? My guess would be not very often... I have daily driven my car for 2 years, and tracked it multiple times. Even on

How often does one go from 150-0? My guess would be not very often... I have daily driven my car for 2 years, and tracked it multiple times. Even on a track I have NEVER done a 150-0mph stop. I have never needed to.

I am just saying, all factors aside, from a performance standpoint the upgrade is not 2k worth of extra braking power. It does help... every little bit does, but I think OP would have better luck getting more braking power out of a lighter set of wheels, better tires, or pads and lines. Then he can get himself a set of swifts and still be "under budget".

But if you DID have to, I'm sure you would want to.
