You're ok on those points. Biggest reason for big brakes is brake feel. Totally subjective.

Things like initial bite etc etc are all things a driver can adjust to, no real problem there.

What robo discribes is a PERFECT example of the way people do not think rationally about brakes. He mentions the brakes are fine in normal traffic, but crap for spirited driving. Yet they seem to be powerfull enough to lock up the tires any times. that means that they CAN reach the max.usable brakingforce needed. I'm guessing he has a tire problem, not a brake problem.

To be honest: the brakes on my brothers AE86 are totally rebuilt with renewed callipers, pads, lines, MC and fluid. They still feel like crap though. Maybe they need another bleed and fresh fluid. Air stuck in the lines sucks. A big brake kit isn't going to change that.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
