no, I read that. But that road wasn't autoX. it was my commute for 4.5 years.
I drive like most stangers, hard and fast all the time and I need all the brakes I can get anyway. The hell of it is, everyone around here drives like madmen all the time... the freeway is 80-0-80 without fail so fast repeatable stops are imporatant.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you as far as the typical american driver goes, just not the typical American Mustang driver... we're a lively breed and as far as I'm concerned, if you're gunna drive it fast you better be able to stop just as fast.
If you're super calm or just knocked out on oxycontin all day, then stock brakes are fine but if you like to gitty-up when you know there's a turn coming, upgrade.
The best combination for balance and average performance with a 4wheel cobra kit is OEM type pads in front and Hawk HPS or EBC Green in back. It's a very firm and well balanced arrangement. Aggressive pads up front are not usually worth the extra money on the street.
