Here's something that will help you guys calculate brake torque.
http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/fo...g_dynamics.pdf

It's safe to assume that the majority of cars these days come with the brake bias dialed in. Stability control, and other features allow cars to max out the performance.

So when calculating brake torque for comparison purposes, we calculate a percentage compared to stock or another system. We then compare the front % increase or decrease in brake torque to the rear % of increase or decrease in brake torque to see if bias has been shifted.

0% fade. I even ran them at Horse Thief Mile where the car started to overheat before the brakes did.

I now have full metallic mintex pads on the front, now the tires can't keep up.

HTM isn't a heavy-braking track
