Ok,

For those thinkers among us,

Hot dry day, hot sticky asphalt, treadwear 220 tires hot and gritty.

Speedometer hovers at 120 mph.

Don't worry the road is straight, wide and long.

You want to stop as fast as possible. When you stomp on the brakes, you don't skid. You cook your rotors and pads. Luckily the speedometer is headed down, but your rotors are melting. By the time that you reach the end, all 4 rotors are red hot. You have stopped, but have sustained damage. And it took you a long time to do it.

You are not taking full advantage of your new sticky tires. You should be able to rip the tire from the pavement with the brakes at any time. Otherwise your ABS cannot function, which would have stopped you much more quickly, probably.

I recently replaced my stock pads and rotors and have had interesting experiences with the performance of my brakes,
and the car in general.

I got the EBC drilled/slotted rotors which are a quality part,
and some quality ceramic pads. Not scrubbed in yet. I drop a pic in here later on. Let y'all rip on my caliper paint job for a while.

The above story actually happened to me. Man was I stupid.
Except it was dark, in a 1991 eagle talon tsi ( ! ), and I had to stop before a train track and accompanying train. I almost hit the windshield with the warning bar. Warped the rotors big time. Dealership replaced them, but I was always careful after that.

 

Huh? What exactly do you want to know. Sounds like you didn't bed in your brakes. Stock brakes can handle a stop from 120mph no problem.

 

Love the 3rd person...
