If you can lock the wheels you have enough pad area.  End of story.  Going to 320 calipers will make it easier to lock up the front end but that doesn't increase the capacity of your brakes, and makes your car MORE DANGEROUS because it gives you more thermal capacity without more cooling.  The function of a well maintained braking system is limited by the ability to dissipate heat - not the ability to stop the wheel...etc.

Best advice! Spot on (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
