So a 4500lb vehicle doesn't need high performance brakes then? When I'm going down a long hill in my 95 SR with 35" tires and towing a trailer, there isn't too much else on my mind other than the quality and stopping power of my brakes. I'm also a little concerned about my stopping distances when I'm in rush hour traffic, since a 5' decrease can be the difference between a panic stop and a rear end collision. That's why I don't use cheap brake pads and I machine or replace my rotors. If your brakes aren't that important to you, I'm sorry - they should be.
