Difference b/w Brembo and regular brake stopping distance?
I'd like to know if there is a difference between the brembos and the regular brakes in terms of stopping distance. Have the magazines given any numbers for a base, or have they only tested the track model?

I haven't seen a comparo but I've heard that the stopping distance isn't the benefit of the track model...t's the performance during hard use (track) such as better cooling resulting in less brake fade.

The real advantage of the Brembos is their ability to stay cooler due to their size, etc. That is what reduces the fade.
