Wow the fact that 802SHO and Jordan have nothing nice to say is very telling. You guys are haters and you do us all a big disservice by discouraging progress and just refusing to get your freaking calculator out. It would be one thing if you had valid concerns but you don't. Because at first the...
We got a couple of commies in this thread. And apparently it turned into poison overnight with a bunch of political and cell phone talk.
Let it suffice to say that nobody with a brain between their ears would dispute whether or not some wilwood calipers are an improvement in every way over oem...
Can everybody please go watch the episode of hi low on donut media about brakes. I didn't start this thread with braking distance in mind. The main advantage is weight and heat management. That's why Jordan's stopping distance vs lees stopping distance on a single run doesn't seem very relevant...
It correlates because the same reason there aren't any 1000 hp shos running around is the same reason there aren't a ton of big brake kits available. Why am I seeing all these rs3 audis running big numbers? Because audi owners don't mind dropping racks on the aftermarket. And the reason I'm...
You guys make me want to sell my car and buy a 240 lol. Its becoming clear to me why the aftermarket support is slacking. Or why there aren't any 1000 hp shos running around yet. I never thought better brake kits would be so discouraged when I started this thread(especially considering brakes...
I mean I guess we could that if you want? What kind of tests? Multiple 60-0 stops until??? I would be more inclined to test things if pads and tires got sponsored. I'm not sure there's enough interest for that. But it doesn't change the fact that Wilwood 4 pots are in fact superior to stock...
A real world test of what? To see if 4 pots are better than your stock brakes? Its literally not even a question to anyone that thinks about it. Once more you move the conversation nowhere. Every other person on this thread has added value besides you.
Its my mistake for calling them explorer brakes for clarity sake.
The 2013+ sho brakes are the same as explorer HD brakes. Correct me if I'm wrong. I learned this info from this forum.
But I just thought about it and it doesn't make sense to talk about braking distance in hundredths of a second. You have to use distance. And tires are what make the most difference for a single stop. The point of me getting this upgrade is so I can roll hard in the desert all day with no brake...
Yes you've got it exactly right. If 2 products perform the same but are overpriced, that makes the cheaper product better. If his 0-60 is .05 better, what is his 1/4?
*edit: I'm tripping. I thought you wrote 0-60 because I had weight on my mind.
