This question seems to pop up every now and then and i can`t understand why.My MA61 has standard brakes(all new) and it does stop on a "postage stamp".Also "some" of the people asking about brake upgrades are running the 5me.Now why the fark would you need any more braking power for this gutless engine???...I`m only assuming that people complaining about their standard brakes realy just need the standard system rebuilt.As norbie stated quality pads can make a HUGE difference but IMO unless your engine is pumping out over 400 HP and/or you circuit race the car i see no real need to even think about upgarading the brakes!
