[QUOTE="JTD, post: 26784, member: 24276"] Hi bros, I've driven my 530i briskly with the allegro tempo and found the brakes does not give the assuring bite that will come to full stop if needed. The car mass with forward dash to a full stop is not confidence inspiring.I've checked with the workshops and all of them says my brakes are ok and none of them says yes to the need for brakes upgrade. Another mechanic test drived my car and shows me that my brakes grip is better than my tires, he jammed my brakes and my 70% tyres marks the road for a short slippage. I still feel the need for the faster grip response to be better in emergency situation. Its the most critical thing to me. I've learned from somewhere every 0.1 sec delay will equal to 4 feet less stopping range at 100kmh with our car mass.Any suggestions ? My front and rear tires are 235/45/17 - Michelin Pilot Precceda, my brake pads are Jurid - all rotors and calipers are stock. [/QUOTE]
