No, thats not really the case. A LOT of braking tho is the tires. I had a friend who had a Porsche C4S, (turbo brakes) and they were beyond incredible......until he changed the tires....they weren't nearly as impressive as they were with the high $ tires.
On my mustang I run Bridgestone SO3's and they are pretty good. That said, I have had pretty limited time playing with these brakes so far. I can hit them pretty hard at lower speeds (under 50) and they just haul it down FAST. I did hit it pretty hard at 70 and they locked up..BUT...that was cold brakes and it had rained the night before....so Yes, I can lock them up but no they don't lock early or easily AND I am just beginning to adjust the bias so I think I still have lots left to gain.

allcarfan said:i have a question. With huge brakes like that, when you press the brake pedal, do they have more of a tendency to lock up because of the stopping power?
