    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    A vehicle's kinetic energy, during deceleration, is transformed into "heat" (thermal energy), without regard to its design, rotor/pad size, efficiency. Therefore a larger (rotor/pad) & better designed (more efficient) brake system would have a larger thermal capacity (heat sink) and can...

    If ALL your drivings is on streets, strictly under the "legal speed limits" and never confront panic stops; then you may not even need to touch the brake in most cases. However any of a driving situation differs from the above a "human control" brake can save the loss in properties and lives...

    What's your wheel size (or plan to have) for tracking?. Plaid comes standard 19" with 21" option. Just test fitted 420mm BBK and it comfortably fits under 21" but will not be for "OE" 19", although some aftermarket 19" may. Wouldn't it be preferable to use 19" than 21" for tracking?
