According to the basic rules of leverage, if you change nothing except the disc size and move the calipers outward to fit, you should improve stopping power. Maybe not enough to notice the difference, but it should make a difference. Are you guys saying reality does not match up with theory in this case?

Is there any consensus on what pads are best for hard street use?
