Well, the final test results for my brake upgrade are in. >>>

I tested the full front/rear brake upgrade package today using my G-Tech meter to measure the 0-60 mph stopping distances and all I can say is WOW!! I figured the rear drum-to-disc kit would bring my stopping distance down a little bit more, but I never dreamed they would help out this much!

I performed 3 full panic stops within 5 minutes, on the same stretch of road, traveling in the same direction and the graph tells the story. It's just totally amazing! I'm now getting "at least" an extra 23 feet of cushion (that's just shy of 1 & 1/2 extra Durango lenghts) and the stopping distances are "extremely" consistant with only a 2 foot difference between cold and hot braking.

Now as long as the vehicle behind me can stop before it rear ends me, I'm set!! Of course, I guess my next major add on is gonna "have" to be some good 4 point belts to keep anyone from going through the windshield when I do have to stop quick!! ;^>

They're those new "quantum" brakes. You hit 'em before you accelerate, but the effect doesn't occur till you reach 60! ;^> [nm] Big Al (alejr) 19:26:23 11/30/99 (1)
