Default Re: Hydraulic Brakes

I have proven (to myself and my wife) that when you run into the car ahead of you, it is immaterial whether you have hydraulic or mechanical brakes. Either will get the job done with enough room in front of you. Neither will if someone jumps in front of you and piles on the brakes with a modern machine. I'd bet the average tire to road ratio on our A's is about 1/4 that of most SUV's, even the smaller ones. If the roadway is wet, all bets are off.
