Yes, it's most exhilerating at 100mph leaving it so late breaking before a long radius hairpin. Reckon it would have gone further though, if there was a gravel trap or longer run off i would have gone for it.

All this with only standard sierra front discs and rear drums, no overheating or fade at all. No need to spend hundreds on new discs all round, unless you have rakes of money.
