i wasnt saying that it was a good thing to have people almost rear end you or to drive in an agressive manor. i was just saying that i noticed that i was causing problems because of an aquired driving style due to upgrades to my equipment and i ajdusted so i dont cause accidents or scare people. i agree that hard braking, sharp cornering, and higher speeds should be only attempted at the track. just because you know what your car can handle does not mean others do.

Uh save it for the track or a twisty road...be kind to your wallet and save your brake pads

I have OEM pads and am between 50 and 60% thickness 35k miles into them. I brake like a grandma.

C'mon guys! Does reading just own you? I said a couple times that I applied about 30% brake pedal depression.
