Stronger brakes for 01 Coupe
I dont know if you noticed guys, bet when braking at hi speed (more than 200 km/h) the braking power seems to be gone... This is normal, in other cars I've met the same issue. Also the brake pads and disks are new, so this is not their fault (worked enough to be... how it is in english ? Grinded to each other?)... The thing is that front breaks in Sebring Coupe has only one piston, example:
Now what can be done ? My friend has a Mercedes Coupe, first it was standard model with some ~2l engine amd 2 piston calipers (if I remember correctly, might be also one), but he started to upgrade it to Sport Line model. MB SportLine has 3l engine and what is most important - 4 piston calipers. I think this is it:
Both sides has two pistons.
I can tell you - the brake power is increased very much. So he just replaced the calipers as it fits to the regular mounting holes and bolts. Now - does Sebring has some "big brother" that I could borrow the 2 or 4 piston calipers from ? Anyone done this before ?
This is the same model I am talking about (not mine, just the same):

The Sebring coupe was built by Mitsubishi. I think the model is the Eclipse. The Dodge Stratus coupe is basically the same car.
Search the internet for aftermarket brakes for those models and you might find something better than the OEM brakes.
Don't expect a $20,000 car like a Sebring to perform like a $60,000 Mercedes.

The fastest we can Legally drive in Canada is 110KM/h (and only in some places, most others is 100KM/h).
I believe the brakes are perfectly adequate for those speeds.
It would be so nice if we could drive 200KM/h

dcotter - you're right, Sebring = Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. Will search later, if noone tried the same thing
Thundercraft - in Lithuania highest legal speed in 130 km/h in summer and 110 km/h in winter so... But I purchased fast car not to drive slowly only I wish our roads would be better, like in Germany or Holland... Its like a table there, not even a small hole...
