pads/disks for 90

[Larry C Leung]

Anti-dive helps keep load on the rears more? (actually doesn't make
sense, at least in terms of the Physics of weight transfer, only true
rear engine cars (or cars with a substantial portion of their weight
BEHIND the rear axle) can apply weight to both axles under braking. In
some respects, AWD will not help a Porsche launch all that much, and the
weight gains certainly seems to have a greater negative effect on the
P-cars than the marginal gain in traction in forwards (only)
acceleration. Just look at the acceleration figures of the 993 series C2
vs the C4.
