they installed these brembo craps like on the project s13
and well..
they didnt notice any gain in the first time they stopped..
but after repeated hard stops that is where u see the brakes work..
they wont make u stop on a dime..
but they will prevent u from fading like a ***** the next time around....

why only would brake fade be of concern, how about shorter distances. You can have high temp pads and get almost the same amount of brake fade that these guys got with the gran turismo brake, but stopping distances wouldn't really have been affected. Ever hear the term "race day brakes" well if you didn;t know it means that brake fade is virtually eliminated under hot and repeated braking conditions.
