Hogan" <robertdhogan@gmail.com>; Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 22:42:47 -0400; I have yet to research the details or what tires, temperatures, surface conditions or measurement accuracies were involved in the article's number. Could anyone shed some light on whether Tiger stopp; /html/tigers/2013-06/msg00168.html (9,647 bytes)

Whether oem front caliper/rotor or aftermarket, generating enough clamping force to exceed mechanical grip is not a problem. I would guess the kit used included a p; /html/tigers/2013-06/msg00171.html (10,635 bytes)

The next thing I think about is sus; /html/tigers/2013-06/msg00174.html (12,022 bytes)

Re: [Tigers] Stopping Distance (score: 1): Author: Jay Laifman <jay.laifman@gmail.com>; Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 22:01:58 -0700; Yeah, but how many people can really maintain threshold braking without ABS? I'm sure we all want to believe we can - and I'm sure some of us can. But, it's also like the new dual clutch manual trans; /html/tigers/2013-06/msg00181.html (12,907 bytes)

There is lots of good technical info regarding the science and physics of braking coming out of the gurus on this List.
