Troy - are you trying to say that the reason Benno can out brake me by MILES given that we run the same tyres is due to his suspension set-up rather than his massive brakes? LOL.
Snowy,
To be fair, Roy is only talking about a caliper upgrade.
On sunday, Roy pointed out to Snowie's brakes and said to the guy that, that brake package, was all that would be needed.
The guy looked at Roy than at Snowie's brakes than back at Roy and said : "but those are only stock size".
To which, Roy began sharing his theories with great enthusiasm, most likely without realizing that Snowie's rotors were stock sized.
As there was no alcohol involved, the discussion was somewhat short lived and the guy was distracted with something else.
:bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha:
It's true that the braking limit is determined by your tyre contact patch, but in the case of 33s, an 18 inch wheel upgrade increases your tyre contact patch (albeit more to assist lateral grip) therefore increasing your braking point where you lock up.
Roy's revolving or hinged door anology clearly explains how a car can benefit from a brake upgrade. The problem is that, towards the larger sizes, a brake and wheel upgrade can be quite costly and it would be advisable to look at different ways of increased breaking force.
In any case, if it wasn't for the weak Snowmeister, this issue could've been discussed the night before with greater value
