[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 535273, member: 54263"] There has been more than a few studies done on this. The general consensus is that replace the brakes under the routine maintenance is the better way to go. You put extra load on the engine as well as extra load on the clutch. As you know, to work on the clutch is not cheap and is time consuming compared to brakes. They both work fine as a slowing or stopping force. In a panic stop a combination of both is great,,,,, if you can do it in time.... [/QUOTE]
