Drum brakes can fade from high-speed stops, but, disk brakes can crack and smoke extremely bad from high-speed stops. I did that with my Sunfire coming down a steep grade going 80...:silly:

The front disk brakes cracked so bad that they shreaded the brake pads and ground down the drivers side caliper.

I will never go that fast with stock brakes again, which, brings me to my point. Is it possible that even though you upgrade to a Porsche brake system, that with the stock Porsche disk brakes they might crack and smoke the same?

Just wondering

But non the less, disk brakes are way better than drums.
