I'm A Noob Well Well Well now I know... Haven't really searched much since it's just now coming up to my upgrade list...
Thanks for the great info, I will keep that in mind...
So my question is... if it is not an effective way to get a better breaking distance, why high performance vehicles are using big brake systems and or calipers?

Rep Power: 341 big brakes and 4,6, or 8 piston calipers make a huge difference in braking power........ 8 piston calipers from brembo i think are around $8k a corner, more for indy cars... bigger disc = more surface area for friction... more pistons in a caliper = stronger gripping
