Stuff.
I totally agree with all of that, the disc snatch thing makes sense however doesn't seem to be a quantifiable factor when sizing a brake system, I guess it's just one of those things that you appreciate will improve with better brakes. One could argue driver skill is perhaps as big a factor as the brakes themselves...
I think what the lads on Civiclife couldn't quite grasp was that the OP asked whether he should upgrade the rears to match a big front upgrade, to which I responded 'yes, unless you fancy longer stopping distances'. Hilarity ensued when they all missed the point by a country mile.
Oh and going from DS2500s to Yellowstuffs... it's a downgrade rather than an upgrade I really rate the DS pads as a fast road/track pad. I've got them on the MX5 and they're immense... but there's a reason they're 50% more expensive than the EBCs. Saying that, they're nice and cheap in the Wilwoods compared to the OEM calipers!
I know, horrible pads. Won't be using them again.
With regards to your question on ITRDC2, I've fired off an email to the supplier to see what he suggests for your setup.
I meant my claim to have developed an algorithm to calculate dynamic bias and stopping distances from given vehicle parameters...
