Re: [T3] question on rear disc brakes...


1)  there is NO WAY to overheat your stock late brakes without simply
abusing them... Ive come down mountains with the car fully loaded and a boat
on the back and not felt any fade

2) if you are unable to lock up the wheels (WITHOUT ANTILOCK BRAKES) your
brakes are inadequate.
If you want to decrease stopping distance you need to put more or stickier
rubber on the road.  Stock brakes will easily lock up stock radial or bias
wheels.
