Here is an old Bendix add for some of their friction material products and is
a good example of FMVSS braking specifications (requirements) for vehicles
Am assuming these are for vehicles at their GVWR/GAWR and maybe at GCWR
Still trying to find GCWR info from FMVSS...as so many do not believe
that GCWR is a real spec (note that 'R' in there)
Braking performance is more important to me than go and braking is
a performance metric.
