[Shotimes] Upgrraded brakes was.....Re: Thanks for everyone that came to Washington, IL

So explain to me how much better the brakes are.  Do you mean you could not
get the ABS to function on all for wheels before your brake upgrades?????

I'll quote a post of mine from SHOforum.  Please do what you can to change my
mind.

"You would be hard pressed to find better brakes than what is standard
equipment from the factory on the GEN3. The best brake mod is the rear plugs
for the proportioning valve. The next best brake mod is better tires.

People who have warping problems have less than OEM quality pads. IMHO

People keep telling me I need better rotors, better calipers, two pistons,
different pads....

I can get my 245/45s on 7.5" rims to kick in the ABS. How much better can you
get your brakes to work?

The only advantage to changing anything would be lifetime warranted
performance pads."

  That's the way a SHO should stop, eh? I guess I got kind of spoiled hauling
a Porsche down from speed, the standard SHO brakes just weren't going to cut
it. Like I said, who needs to upgrade the rears? They really don't touch the
ground when the fronts work that good!

08:02:14 -0400 We arrived home last night at 10:00 and averaged around 27 mpg
after we filled up from Larry's tank emptying. BAWWWHAAAAA = My one run barely
used a 1/4 tank, I think it was that positive braking action that caused the
rest to exit up the filler tube!! Can I have my teeth back now???:}*had to be
