Default Re: The Final Word on front disc brakes

I never found PBBob to have much credibilty as far as any turbo'd car goes. Just check out his threads over on the other boards. As far as I'm concerned he is a gypsy selling snake oil.

I dont think the matter is so much the type of booster but the size and capacity of the brake system in general. I've done some wild stunts with the stock brakes on my 455 Regal and equally wierder things with the PM and vacuum brakes on the GN. I would say you're sitting good if you have a firm brake pedal and can lock up the fronts at will reguardless of the calipers and how sticky the tires are.

Funny thing how you never hear anyone complain about the lack of ABS on these cars. In other words, just like there is a technique to making our cars go fast there is also a technique to slowing them down....fast.
