Harold, That's a great starting point but can anyone provide some braking distances at say 30 or 40 mph, which might be more easy tested on a public road... Re: Brakes broke.. Posted by: "Harold McElraft" hmcelraft@xxxxxxx hmcelraft Date: Sat Jul 29, 2006 11:36 am (PDT) A proper functioning D brake system is about as good as it gets for street use, WO ABS. 60-0 stopping is 160 ft.! However, if you have weak components, air in the system or, what I found very common in the "old days", the wrong pads, you are not going to get proper performance.
