OK How about something I have never seen in a forum, yet used to often see in car magazine reviews - stopping distances.

 

If many of us are modifying or even just tidying up our older cars to go better, or at least like when brand new, surely time and effort should be dedicated to just how well our beasts stop !

 

I know that my brakes always feel better after new pads, and different pads also give varying results. New rear shoes, drum machine and wheel cylinders. As has with caliper overhaul as well up front.

 

Heck, even the oil change intervals when a drum tickle is required the brakes improve

 

New hoses have been good too.

 

Now, I reckon it is worth compiuling a comparison between ourselves of stopping distances and simply stating speed and stopping distance achieved.

 

Just dont do it on a public road here you gonna cause chaos, accident, injury or multiple deaths !!

 

Got nothing to contribute yet, but if anyone has a review from magazines be useful to start with. State ya brakes and model, huh?

 

Or this could just flop
