And are you seriously saying there's no difference between DRs and all season tires? I gained .2 at the track just by switching to DRs, and have traction on the street all the time, VS the car going sideways with 2/3 throttle.

So

No what i meant was you cant compare brake pads as if you were comparing tires. Not even close to the same effect on handling. ive gone threw probably 5 different sets of pads on the LT1 brakes in the T/A. i now have an LS1 brake swap. and NOthing comes Close. i noticed little to no difference in pad quality/stopping power. wen all else was equal. all im saying is pads on a stock Puny rotor wont net you any better stopping power. 20 bux sez take a car with the same curb weight and brakes sizing. use EBC's in one and cheap ass advance wearevers. bet you dont see any significant drop in 60-0 times.
