Marv, with a good set of tyres, the stock brakes can be extremely
effective. I've had another owner as a passenger in my car, and in
traffic on the motorway, I did the not paying attenction trick and
suddenly realised the car in front had stopped again. I knew the
DeLorean would stop, but Claire thought we were going to hit him. Why?
Because in her words "our car wouldn't have stopped".
My car is a genuine 5000 miler and still has the original discs and
pads. I have Pirelli tyres. You really have to stand on the anchors to
make it skid, otherwise it digs its nose in and stops extremely well.
May I siggest before you go spending a lot of money, just have your
calipers serviced and flush the system - and perhaps invest in the
stainles braided brake lines? (I haven't as yet)
