more dirty leh... i also find it that must step harder and full to have a complete stop... just get use to it... understand yr ride... make yr ride and u combine as one... "che ren He Yi" heee.....

simi more dirty???

IMHO.... even if change to high temp brake pad.... also same thingy.....

the tyre is the one tat u rely on to stop in time....traction, etc etc....

my last ride.... brake sucks....

Change to performance brake pad....no impact
Change brake hose.........slight impact....

Change rubber aka tyre....  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Frankly speaking, if TC wants to play hard ball wif u, even u upgrade yr stock rims to a bigger rims. They can void yr warranty if there is anything wrong with yr suspension or brake etc... ;)

i totally agree with u as well bro. not many pple understand the suspension and tires compliment the brakes as well.

and as for the latio brake performance, i would agree with both sides. it seems that for initial braking, the bite is not quite there. but i think if im not wrong, braking force is exponential and not linear for our brakes.
Actually this setting is better for most (including inexperienced) drivers. This is because sometimes when we panic, we tend to over depress the brake. In situations like this, better to give a bit more slack initially than to lock the wheels straight away and cause a spin or skid. Like I said, we are not trained race car drivers.

WRX drivers are still only drivers of an excellent car. There is only so much a car can do. The rest still depends on the driver.

Mass outing to a defensive driving course anyone? I heard AAS organises them.

Thought the ABS brake with brake assist suppose to prevent skidding or spinning our car provided the road condition is good and dry? plus a non-worn out tyre? I dun think it will skid and spin if the road is dry and the tyre is not worn out.

yup, agree again. as for the driving course, long time ago, i had lpanned to organise such a event. but it was supposed to be held in msia. perhaps the distance put pple off etc.

oh well, whats past has past. i can look into this. or perhaps, if u dun mind, can help to call and check and maybe plan with us?

Even ABS has its limits. I am particularly unimpressed with the ABS on the previous gen of camry and australian Pulsars.

I have not seen a convincing demo of ABS on a consumer car at high speeds yet.

I admit myself I did not personally experienced it although experienced at a lower speed of 50-60km/hr before. No skid.. was a toyota.

I was also told by a customer with ABS brake and brake assist with high speed incident 2 years ago.
Just a brief account.
Was raining. He was travelling approx. 80 km/h on SLE when a motorcyclist buan.
The rider was abt 10 - 20 mtr ahead of him before he buan and he managed to E-brake without skidding and was inches before hitting the injured man lying on the road. His account was that the car dun lock dead immediately the tyre and he could felt the the car was balancing by letting the force released bit by bit before a complete stop. so from the distant he braked to the final distant is approx abt 1 mtr apart or lesser. That's ABS he said.

Why I mentioned bcos he gave me a great impression by keep praising his ABS so on and so on.... non-stop cos he was glad he did not kill the guy. forgot his ride.
