[200q20v] Upgraded Brakes

[Mike Miller]

Seems to me that if you could engage ABS at 100 mph before and after you
havent really gained too much in everyday driveability. Of course, you have
likely gained a bunch in terms of repeated brakeability without fade. But,
that deer I see in the road doesn't wait for my UFO's to stop multiple
times.
