Paul,

You'd probably only need better brakes if you had a faster car.  HA!
See you at Gingerman.

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!

2004 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
