I do not have any numbers for you. But the improvement is breathtaking. A real night and day difference.

That is why so many of us did or desire to do the upgrade. I have 12" rotors on all four wheels.

Thanx,ANDYZ28

I dunno whats with my car. I have stock brakes, and I have very little fade - in fact, they prefere to be a little warm, they stop better then. I also can lock up the fronts pretty easy, or the backs if I take my time and let the wieght transfer... Does this sound wierd for stock 91 RS brakes, cuz I'v heard most people have a hard time locking up thier brakes.... I dunno...

For the price that I paid for all of the parts for it,the 1LE upgrade was the single best safety modification I have made to my car to date(on top of many).I have the 12" 1LE system on all four corners and am very pleased with it.I had the 82-88 J65 system that was factory on my car beforehand and there is no comparison to the 1LE.The car STOPS(now)!

Last time I went over my receipts I had invested about $1500 total for front and rear upgrade.
