that would be a good idea, but if i expect to drive the xB at all, i still have to replace the pads and rotors.

to increase brake performance you need to increase friction and lower rotational inertia. The quick and cheap way to do it is with better pads, they will give you your best bang for the buck. Sticky tires will make a big difference also. A light weight, smaller diameter wheel will also help.

Larger rotors might not make a difference for, being larger they have more mass farther away from the center of rotation. and unless your get different calipers with a larger pad surface area your really couldn't exploit them to there full potential.

stainless steel lines and synthetic brake fluid will help to prevent the brakes from fading after repeated use.

i have been doing alot of research in brakes myself

the problem is, i have been running alot of big wheels. in the past, 2 sets of 19's and a couple sets of 18's.

I changed my brake pads on 2/8/07, and the NEED to be done again, badly.

granted, there was about 25k miles on the pads, mostly aggressive driving, with large diameter wheels.

the larger wheels are whats killing the performance. not just brakes, acceleration, handling, and mpg also. you gotta decide between show or go. if you get a set of forged 18in wheels you might find a good compromise.

Yeah I had to change mine after 25k miles, hard driving, hard biting pads.

I've got 29k on my stock pads, still going strong.

I've got a set of ceramic pads sitting on my desk at home, too, if anyone wants them.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the Valley of Darkness; for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And, you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!
