[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 549942, member: 4527"] Difference in balls sizes.. :4: Your title says "confidence upgrade" but your content indicated that you need more braking power.. Looks like your lack in high speed confidence and blaming the brakes.. As long as you can brake until ABS kicks in, that's good and healthy brake. And so some are putting double servo, bigger diameter brake disc rotor and more pots calipers, which only assist the driver so less force needed when stepping on the brake and shorten the time to trigger kicks in of ABS by milliseconds. The car is still limited to the size of the tyre-tarmac contact patch. Tyre that's engineered for good braking in the dry has terrible wet performance because they increase the contact surface by trading off with lesser water drainage channels. Those who put big rotor at the front sacrifices rear passenger comfort because a slight tap on the brake pedal will lift the rear and do it repeatedly can cause the rear passenger to puke.. :puke: [/QUOTE]
