Default braking Q: After searching the archives it seems that only ST brakes seem to be able to match OEM

60-0 distance. Which brings me to my next question.. Are there any others that meet/ beat 60-0 ft (or from any other higher speed as well) stopping distances, and have actual numbers?

I understand that the biggest enemey with brakes is heat, and the point of a BBK is to be abble to reduce fade and have more consistent, and frequent stops at higher speeds. But if you have to give up distance and possible correct front/rear brake bais, what exactly is the point?

Keep in mind my primary use, which will be the street, with some occasional auto-x.
