A story: A year or so ago I did a major overhaul of my braking system: new high quality disks, Akabono pads, SS lines, meticulously bled the lines with new fluid.
I can't say my stopping distances improved, but now I can feel what's going on at the tires under braking like I never could before. I think I just hit a great combo of components. In fact, I now enjoying braking as much as accelerating.
The point is that stopping distances are a very small part of evaluating braking systems. I'm not saying CCB's are better than the steel discs, although at least one reviewer stated that the CCB's were the best part of the car, but rather than don't get so hung up on braking distance as a measure of the quality of the system.
