Default Brakes

I was wonder if it was a good idea to change the stock brake pads?
Let's say to ceramic brake pads to increase braking power. Would this help
the traction control system?

Nah, I'd say just leave the stock pads in and change them out when needed.

The new 35" BFGs I just received are 66lbs each. The 17" Cragar soft 8s are ~36 lbs each. Now each set is just over 100 lbs and Im guessing the stock sets only weigh about 50?
Thats twice the weight
You guys think I'll be ok using the stock brakes? Even when I was driving the wheels home in a pickup I noticed a difference in braking.
Thanks guys
