I've done a bit of searching on here but I haven't found the answer or at least enough information on my question.
I like the linked brake system. I don't want to lose it. I know people install EBC brake pads to improve braking but I thought about taking it a step farther with a full set of steel braided brake lines as well. I'd like to keep most everything else stock if possible.
For simplicities sake I'll keep my questions to the front brakes as I'm not worried about the back. My questions are:
- With increased braking power do the rotors wear out quicker or can they warp more easily? I can live with wearing out quicker as long as they don't fail.
- Does the front allow for a thicker rotor with stock calipers and retaining the linked system?
- Any concerns about increased power on the stock system?
I'd love to hear from all who have done this. My reasons for upgrading are 1) better braking power for my own rides 2) better braking power with two up.
