Any 60-0 reduction braking times documented?

From what I understand these will NOT reduce distance but I don't know about time...

Default Whoa, that'd be a neat trick, brakes that warp the laws of physics...

Operating on the improbability principle I would guess...

Default Whoops, make that "Infinite Probability"...

It's been a while since I read the book.

Since his death, I've had Douglas Adams on the brain...

Default They offer repeated stopping power but shouldn't reduce distance that much..

Tires, suspension, weight transfer and distribution contribute MUCH more to reducing stopping distances. The stop techs are a good choice because they are matched to the master cylinder of our cars but I wouldn't be suprised if somebody who made a bad 'big-brake' kit that would actually increase stopping distance and slow acceralation at the same time because of increasing rotating mass.

agree?

Default I don't claim to know much but there is quite abit of physics that goes into stopping a car and...

bigger brakes can either help or hurt. Check out my post below, do you agree?

Default I'm just saying that for a given speed

It's impossible to stop a moving object in less time without also lowering the distance which it takes to stop.
