I’m not sure it’s clickbait. Did you watch it?It’s a true statement, but not the whole picture when it comes to braking, particularly not in a high performance sportscar, as you (hopefully) are not doing full panic stops that engage ABS much, if at all. It’s about feel and fade. That’s where larger and more advanced braking systems shine. Braking performance cannot be simply boiled down to stopping distance.
Videos like this are just clickbait.
Is it? Or is it to correct misinformation and help misunderstanding? I remember a post on RL earlier this year where someone commented on how happy they were they optioned PCCBs because of how well their car stopped at one red light. So I think sharing the information still has a place. Sorry you disagree.This is a topic that is repeatedly raised on the Internet because it creates arguments.
This is indeed spot on IME.
Brakes with inferior stopping power have been illegal in the UK for about 20 years.Whereas inferior brakes that can't quite match tyre/system performance (insufficient stopping or fade etc), take back some of that responsibility; and, because they are inferior, braking performance will be sub-optimal as a result - tyres etc doing all they can - but brakes with insufficient stopping power.
That is fair enough.FWIW, I've ceased wondering whether the PCCB's on my car stop better or improve ride/handling due to reduced un-sprung weight or have better feel. The fact is that they look absolutely stunning behind my 21" Mission E wheels. I've never for a second regretted spending the extra money to get them.
