Hi all !
Was bantering with Matt_J last night about brakes and braking ability. Matt was of the mind that uprated / aftermarket brake pads will help a car stop better / quicker, whereas my opinion is that if your standard brake setup is good enough to lock the wheels / trigger ABS, you already have maximum possible braking and the only advantage you get from new pads/discs is longevity and fade resistance.
Who is right!
