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
No fear mongering, just the truth, every time you dive into a corner at a 100+mph you brakes need to work well.
