Brake Upgrades for a 4 lug, what's available Options

[76-914]

Looking to upgrade my present brake system but I want to keep it 4 lug AND keep the parking brake. Not to mention, staying out of the Poor House at the same time. I'm not opposed to moving up to a larger MC. Is there such an animal? TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Someone once told me, "If you can lock the tire, you have enough brake"


Beyond that, most improve their brakes more for the heat soak and need to stop repeatedly from high speeds. A few quick stops on the street aren't usually enough to warrant most brake upgrades.


That said, you might find that better pads are alone all you need. What pads are you currently running?

I would agree that locking the tires up indicates enough brake....I might disagree if the context meant effective braking.
