I guess you didn't think about that. If the guy wants to put Brembo 8 pot ceramic brakes on his car because they look pretty, then whatever, how does that affect you?

So seriously, people aren't stupid and chill out.
that's the point I am getting at. I think it's ridiculous to see people upgrading their brakes to brembo's, especially since most seem to do it for the look. but, pads are obviously a wear item and a 15 min change out so why throw stockers back on there if there's something better?

and also, I don't even know if the 993/Elise/STi has better 60-0 braking stats or not than the Z, they might not. I'm talking about the feel of the brakes. I'm sure all 3 cars are very close in performance. to me it just seems in hard braking or a panic stop that the Z is more squirrely, requires more effort, and does not seem as confident.
