Brakes

     ... I replaced the pads with Axxis metal master pads and the rotors 
     with Brembo Drilled rotors from Best Price. I notice now that it 
     really doesn't want to stop. Stopping distance is actually increased 
     with the new brakes...
     
     Same experience I had with two different sets of semi-metallic pads on 
     my Spider. They don't work unless hot! For a street machine, this can 
     be fatal! I pulled the pads and exchangeds them for straight organics, 
     from the local auto parts store. Now the car stops like an Alfa 
     should! I don't care if they wear out in two years; pads are cheap, 
     and my life is unique (only one I got!) If I were driving on the track 
     I would try the semi-metallics, but not on the street. They could not 
     lock up the wheels, no matter how hard I tried.
