i think dr_jones was talking about why is it that u have to upgrade brakes when u do an engine transplant if the car that the engine came with has better brakes than your original.FTO338 wrote:So how do you explain all those test in different magazines that some cars able to stop faster then others or with less distance from 100kmph to 0?Dr_Jones wrote:I don't get the bigger brakes thing, I mean bigger is better most of the time for sure but no matter how fast your car gets to 100 it still takes the same amount of time to stop whether you got there in 5 seconds or 10 seconds. Don't get me wrong I'm all for uprated bits that just gets me sometimes.
I've done this test in an advance driving course, and it does makes a different if you have different rotor and brake pads. I was able to stop at the same amount of distance from 60kmph to 0, when i was doing 70kmph to 0.
maybe it's to do with weight? or maybe whoever wrote that rule assumed everyone will speed depending on the engine size lol
