Sounds very similar to my current setup on my Suburban.
As for stopping distance, sure up to a point...with tire traction being the ultimate limiting component
Modulation can help greatly in stopping distances, if the driver knows the HOW2’s of that. ABS actually limits my stopping distances on dry pavement
Hadn’t checked out their site, but if the pricing is as stated...not sure I’d be interested, as my current setup already there. Plus buddies sample prototypes are free, for now. He sold his small consulting/prototyping biz to one of the biggies after his daughter was born....reliable income of higher priority. Still get samples, but can’t ID him
Of course there are other things that would help traction and again only up to a point
Reducing sidewall bend-back via much wider rims, the right PSI for your setup, the suspension and even super tuning calipers. Any binding of the slides will affect modulation....why fixed caliper best for high end performance modulation
