My 1990 RRC brakes as good as any vehicle I've had...no long push before engagement, right at the top. I can lock up those RRC brakes in a flash, or until the old Wabco ABS system starts vibrating the pedal.
Now with the D2, I've had several incidents where the car in front stops quickly and I push that damn pedal as hard as possible, but the brakes (stock rotors, pads and rubber lines all around) don't bite like my 14 year older RRC. I narrowly avoid a collision. My RRC has stock rotors and pads, the orogonal Wabco system, and doesn't squeel either.
So, until the time I do some kind of upgrade, I drive slower and leave more room.
Are the calipers in the RRC's larger than D2's? The Master Cyl. is different, but how?
