Some major updates were made to the brake article - there'll probably be some more pics and other stuff added later.
A major update was adding a mythbusting section on big brake kits. Many times they make braking worse! Yes suspension is a huge part of it but that's way beyond the scope of this article.
Also some scanned articles if you don't believe me. In one, C&D tested a stock Passat (the new mk5 one) in 25 panic 70-0 mph stops and the brakes didn't fade! Obviously there's something to being tuned for the Autobahn! Something for everyone in there.
