I drive lots of different cars.. lots of modified ones as well.. currently we have a suburu wrx rally car at my shop... I didn't base my comparison via stats.. just my own opinion.... I just like sensitive brakes more.. I feel more safe btw.. what do you mean by maintaining the brakes? I change my brakes only when the brake light light is on.. and changing the brake fluid... and what else can you change? aren't the brakes self adjusting? like is there valves controlling the brake fluid cables or brake pedal adjustments??
