[Mgs] Moss Big Brake Kit

[Paul Hunt]

It isn't going to improve your stopping performance, and may even reduce it. 
As long as the existing brakes will lock the wheels on dry tarmac with 
progressive pressure they are working fine and 'bigger' brakes won't change 
that.  It's the tyre to road contact patch that determines maximum 
performance, so unless you change the tyre compound and/or contact area as 
well you won't gain anything.  And if the 'bigger' front brakes mean that 
you can lock the fronts with less pedal pressure, then that means less 
hydraulic pressure to the rears, and so *lower* braking performance overall.

If your existing brakes can't lock the wheels, then there is something wrong 
with them, so fix that.
