Someone correct me if I am wrong, but adding too big of a brake in the front, causes the stopping distance to be INCREASED. This is because you can't get full power to the rears without locking the fronts.

Any brake system in good order will lock the fronts. Stoping distance is improved by getting good ballance between the front and back so all four wheels can be near their limit at the same time. And a Prob valve only works if your rears are too big.

Heat is the big problem and bigger calipers may help a little but vented disks are the answer.

Big brakes dont make you stop faster, only better.

I went with the BMW 320i calipers and removed the prop valve. I like the setup but I still get some fade at the track.
