Well...my old '65 Coronet with stock breaks has done me good over the past 11 years or so. I've driven mountains, city, and back roads - fast and slow - wet and dry and have never had a problem slowing down, stopping or panic stopping - from 5 to 100 miles per hour. I've seen it all in my old Coronet. This winter I'll be doing a new break job, it's time. It'll stay stock with good quality parts, new everything. Just saying.
