#688, "Skid thru Intesection - need brakes or tires?"




          

Hey guys, yesterday I was about to hit an intersection that turned yellow, and I slammed on the brakes since there are red light cameras and I'm paranoid. My car ended up skidding about one car length into the intersection and left about 10 to 15 feet or rubber on the pavement. I have Dunlop SP8000 tires with Axxis Metalmaster pads. Is there a way to prevent this or is it just due to driver error and no ABS? Would the AEM big brake kit help, or would it just make things lock up even quicker if I were to slam on the brakes hard? Thanks

                     Does MORE stopping power = easier to lock up, Teameclipse804, Feb-12-01 10:01 AM, #11
                          More braking power means shorter stopping distance, TeamDeanoD, Feb-12-01 11:08 AM, #12
