If you can, take it to the track in stock form so that you have a benchmark - O.W. Kenobi 2006-05-02 15:04:00 (67 views)

you will need brakes - Shabadoo Tooning 2006-05-02 14:42:21 (64 views)

Why will he 'need' brakes? The car comes with them. - Flyboy 2006-05-02 16:51:26 (59 views)

stock brakes are woefully inadequate for a stage III car, especially if he's going to the track - Shabadoo Tooning 2006-05-02 17:24:28 (64 views)

I disagree. Stock brakes were designed for a car that's factory limited to 143 mph. - Flyboy 2006-05-02 18:09:00 (106 views)

Sounds to me like you've never been in a tuned S4 before ! You do know that - zev@avalonmotorsports 2006-05-02 23:14:36 (140 views)

A 500hp s4 will have significantly higher entry speeds at EVERY braking zone - nyet 2006-05-04 13:41:37 (63 views)

And it's braking zone will start sooner so it can slow to the speed of the other car. - Flyboy 2006-05-04 19:01:46 (65 views)

Braking points depend on tires and brakes, not horsepower. - zev@avalonmotorsports 2006-05-05 12:10:35 (53 views)

I agree - to a point - Shabadoo Tooning 2006-05-02 18:08:52 (65 views)

isnt the only function of bigger brakes to not fade during repeated heavy braking (at the track)? - mtaesch 2006-05-02 18:15:01 (55 views)
