   enhanced brakes putting strain on suspen

   Suppose a car has a base model and a performance model with bigger disk   
   brake rotors and more pistons in callipers. So one can stop better from   
   high-speed driving. So when one does a panic stop, there is a lot of   
   braking torque on the front wheels. If the front end is McPherson Strut,   
   it would seems to me that braking is going to bend the struts unless   
   they are built like Soviet tractors.
