Default We still haven't gotten around to answering the question of, at what HP level

do you need to upgrade your brakes. The post started with the statement that going to Stg3 would require upgraded brakes. That seems to imply there is some hp cutoff where stock brakes are insufficient for the car. That requirement I believe is a function of the speed at which you drive the car.

Braking points depend on tires and brakes, not horsepower.

Default Driving habits are definitely a factor in whether or not a car will need

a brake upgrade. My point, going back to the beginning is that we do not have any customers that upgraded to Stage 3 with their S4 so they could maintain the speed their car had when it was stock, or any other level below Stage 3.

A Stage 3 car can do more than 90 mph in 1/8 of a mile....this almost puts these stupid 4-doors we all love so much into supercar ststus.

I hope this helps.
