The fear mongering in this thread is out of control.
Brakes are the
only difference between life and death?
Not your skill, other drivers skill, the condition of your tires, the overall state of repair of your car, the state of repair/condition of everyone elses vehicles, changing weather, etc etc etc etc etc.
No, not any of those things. A properly installed caliper that has the potential to shift the bias forwards a bit is what's going to cause your death.
How hard do you weekend warriors push your car at the track?? I went to 4 or 5 hot lap sessions last summer and I can say with certainty that i'm completely happy at 80-90% of the cars limit lol. Apparently all the Schumachers out there are trail braking on the ragged edge with their dailys lol
Please don't take offence to my post, I'm just trying to be as light hearted as possible with this discussion by injecting some sarcasm
