Halfway around the track they felt soft, so I backed off and coasted to the pits and it took me about 50 yards to stop from 10 mph.

Now I have stoptech trophy brakes with titanium backing plates and stillen cooling kit and have zero issues
Certainly if there was an unlimited amount of upgrade cash we would all have Trophy's or heck a GTR! But I guess those of us without such resources, we stay in the stands with this car.
