UFO brakes: solution

[Tony Hoffman]

And I can say for a fact that the G60's are not even close to an
upgrade, as they fade before completing one stop from 100mph. They did
great in one stop from 60, 120 feet on my car with 225/50-16 Ecsta
711's, but the next stop added over 40 feet, and it got much worse
after that. Definately not an upgrade of any sort for a car that
heavy!
