Lazy ... those are some Bad *** brakes ... no doubt.

With my Big Red fronts and 930 rear setup and 235/265 tires, braking is incredible. Enough to slide the glasses I wear from my head and into the windsheild from an 80 - 0 (mph) stop ... and I can do that repeatedly because the brakes will not overheat

Braking is a little sketcky in the wet .. I REALLY have to be careful because the brakes lock up easily. I think this is not because of the brakes but because of the tire widths on a light car in the rain. It sure does stick in the dry though. :agree:

I have not noticed any ill effects from the weight of my wheels/tires due to heavy unsprung weight and the highway ride at 190 kph (fastest I have gone, clear highway) is 1000 % better than my drum brake setup. The car feels SOLID at that speed and I would drive that fast if that was the speed limit because I feel the car is stable.

You are on the right track
