Hi all - Sorry to belabor this topic, but I found an interesting and probably objective report which includes braking distances. It's the Michigan State Police testing a variety of vehicles considered for police work. The braking test is more than a single stop and the results are surprising. The vehicle closest to an Imperial in weight is the Ford Expedition at 5400 lbs. Its 60-0 average score is 162.3 feet. The only test result I've found for an Imperial is 185 feet (mentioned in my last email), which is about 50 feet more than the best test report in the MSI study (a Camaro). The file name is: msp2001bulletin.pdf and you can search google to find it (and its link) As all Imperial owners should know - keep that following distance "cushion" generous! Now we need one or more owners to perform similar tests, ideally before and after a disc brake conversion.
