replacing the shock absorbers someone said in these forums would help in reducing braking distance too, so thats also high on the list.

EDIT



quote from an old thread - this is what confused me and i think prompted me to ask the same question twice, lol.
That quote is still correct for daily driving, but not for repeated hard brake applications (ie track days, or spirited mountain driving - within speed limits of course). So the % improvements I listed above are overall.

In terms of one outright hard braking stop, there's not much in it between the DBAs and AU2s. But repeat it 4 or 5 times, and the AU1s start to fade pretty badly, even with the DBAs.
