The only reason they have those are for FADE RESISTANCE. The stock Mustang brakes are GREAT for your panic stops/emergency stops... But not so great in repeatable stops, ie road course.... If you take your car to the road course often, then yes.. big brakes will make a huge difference in longevity and fade resistance.9 Deuce GT said:I would do a little research before I wrote off buying brakes. I was being sarcastic with my previous post. I believe it's the stopping ability before you lock up the brakes that makes a difference. And believe me, it's a huge differecne.
If bigger brakes were worth nothing, I would think we would see Nascar and IRL running the fabulous 10" single piston front, and 9" rear drum package made famous by the Fox Mustang. I don't think so.

srothfuss said:Agreed! Repeated stabs from 60-0 at the treashold of lock up will seriously heat up and warp a stock rotor. The larger brakes offer more consistant braking for serious poundings without worry. There is also a slight increase in the mechanical advantage of a larger rotor which makes slowing the car down faster, with less heat, easier...
