bigger rotors arnt going to make you stop any faster. if you can lock the wheels up diffrent brakes wont help. bigger brakes do give you more control over breaking and stay cooler do to there being more surface area . in any car with out antilock brakes its going to slide if you slam the breaks on.... cheepest fix is just paying attention. or try to maintain proper distance. because if you did hit him you would have been at fault

if the tires locked and you slid, your brakes weren't your downfall, it was a combination of your use of them and tire quality.

abs owns me.

Ya, because you weren't paying attention and your brakes are good enough to lock the fronts you need to upgrade your brakes. I say invest that money into ADD medication.

if your fronts slide real easy at slower speeds and you dont stop worth ----, your rears might not be working.
