That's precisely my point... upgrade the brakes, even if it's only better disks, pads, hozes and fluid, and it's a massive improvement. Stick to standard Ford disks, standard pads, normal brake fluid and Fords original rubber hoses and the brakes are crap.
Rallyesport, you've modified your brakes with better fluid, better pads, and disconnected the ABS, so it's no longer a standard setup... so you can't really claim that the standard brakes are good enough else you'd have kept them standard, right?
