Well before the upgrade, I could step on the pedal as hard as I can and I could never lock the brakes up, on dry pavement that is... the car just sort of came to a stop and that was it... now with the larger brakes the front wheels actually lock up and the abs has to kick in, and that only happens during really hard panick stops... but the important part is that it stops like hell... I have put them through some pretty abusive driving including an AutoX course and a lot of Chicago traffic stuff, and so far no brake fade or anything of that sort... just solid pedal feel and big smiles...
In normal condtioins I would say that you wont notice any difference in brake feel or braking forces... but in those special moments you know you can count on them...
