Locking up your brakes doesn't really slow you down. You need modulation as well, you need to be able to get right on the edge of locking up the tires. Most stock setup's can't do this, you are usually stopping with 70-80% efficiency, with a (proper) upgraded setup you can get closer to 100.
i don't follow. why can't you hold a stock setup at 99% until you're slowed? i highly doubt a stock setup will fade in a single stop.
