OK kid... I have to say a few things.
Yes I am selling the GSX brake kit but I just want to state some facts and experiences I had ok.

1) The fact is, Physics said it all, if the surface area is larger, the more grip it will get. Yes you are right, if the wheel locks up, the car will skid. But if you say that, then WHY NOT all brakes just use a nail as the braking system? same thing right? why use a pad? (why not make the pad as small as a quarter?) duh...common sense coz the power of the brake will decrease as the surface area decreases.

2) Now my own experiences, when I first got my turbo installed. I did a run at the back of my college. a straight road with a STOP sign at the end then 200ft to another stop light. I accelerate and goes to 100+MPH, and I am about close to the stop sign and I try to stop, and after 2 second I FORCE MY WHOLE BODY on the brake, and the car still going (without skid) then I have to ran the stop sign while at 40MPH then stop at the red light. I got off and my brake is on smoke and the rotors is kinda growing red.. lol and my rotors are FUCKED!!! Now after 2 weeks I upgraded my brake to the GSX dual piston the brake pad and rotors are much biger. Now I tried the same thing, and I got to 100+MPH and I start braking before the stop sign... DAMN it's so easy... without much effort, my car stopped about 15 ft after the stop sign. I do mean died stop... and I got off the car...the brake has no smoke or anything.... and of course, the rotors I am still using now after 4 months.. So NOW PLEASE TELL ME WHY if a bigger brake system won't WORK???? TELL ME PLEASE!

Thank you. that's all I have to say!
