Wtf! Stock power... Ceramics give you more power!!!! Put your bloody foot on the floor you pansy! If the stock power doesn't kick in the abs, you're clearly not pushing the peddle hard enough!v8 omfg wrote: Even with a stock power set up they are useless,
What a load of tosh! Don't be so daft! You can not stop harder by changing brakes! You need a bigger footprint on the floor with your tyres, or you need a stickier floor!v8 omfg wrote:Stock steel brakes are insufficient for general use...
Sam, I'm with you all the way... the problem here is that not many has had experienced the full on Ceramics for the C6 let alone owned them... say no more or else you too will get hammered here from the steel brigade LMFAO.Surrey Sam wrote:Join the club.v8 omfg wrote: Therefore my ceramic hunt is the only way I see to go,

The only setup I've ever had confidence in which can deliver the goods time after time without 'protecting' the brake pedal has been a ceramic setup. Sure they have small niggles but for me, the benefits of reliable performance on a fast car, far outweigh that of steels.
That's from 'real' world experience and not just internet speak.

The point just before the wheel locks is the PHYSICAL limit of grip! If the wheel is stationary while the car is still moving then you already have more pedal power than the grip allows!!!

Are you serious?... for a given foot print the difference in stopping distance between steel and ceramic brakes is huge. Have you actually tested your statement and do you own ceramics or are you just off loading from what you have read from the net?.classba wrote:What a load of tosh! Don't be so daft!

Not disagreeing with the extra benefits. Unsprung weight would be great for handling.Surrey Sam wrote:Shinobi675 wrote:Nope I can't cope any more!

Yes...with respect that's stating the bleeding obvious. How about being able to modulate the brake pedal at maximum braking efficiency? How about less un-sprung weight being able to maintain better a contact patch? These all effect performance.
Sure, steels stop really good from cold. They also stop really well a couple of times from 1.2 leptons, any more and then it's like looking into a crystal ball trying to ascertain what your stopping distance will be like. Ceramics just stop, then stop again and then stop some more! All in a reliable and consistent manor, unlike steels.
Try it before you knock it. I've had direct comparison having owned two examples of the same car, at the exact same time - 1 Ceramic equipped and the other Steel equipped. I even swapped the brakes over to eliminate chassis differences.
Like I said. REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE.
I'm done
