Also, my car is around 400lbs less than stock. A car that weighs less won't require as much from its braking system.
Though, this whole thing gave me an idea... when I do make active grill shutters for the front end to the radiator, I'll likely tie in the opening of the shutters to the brake light for ...more stopping power? I figure, if you are going to be slowing down at all, might as well use all you got!
