four.8is is on a distinguished road
After more than a year with this setup, I gotta say I really like it. Stoptech rotors and Carbotech pads. Best setup I ever ran. No dust, even after a month of driving there's barely any brake dust on the wheels. (Yes I've gone that long without washing my car).

Very very nice brake modulation, way better than OEM pads which used to lock the wheels way too soon. If I remember well, it took over 10 hard stops from 60-20 before I could begin to smell the brakes.

Couple months ago I put them to test without any intention of doing so.
Idiot cop decided to cross all 4 lanes like a wild animal would-straight across...I was going 65 miles/hr. Honestly I have no idea how the car stopped so soon but it did. There's more than brakes involved in all that. But you get the point...bottom line is , these pads are not gonna give you a soft pedal when you need a hard one.

Here's the thread I posted more than a year ago:
