What are they talking about re: brakes? Their claim that the car "does not stop" and are "not really safe" is absolute fabrication. I have tracked on the stock high-performance pads and they were 100% fine, and also done the braking exercises as part of LPDS in LCs with the high-performance pads. You would have no issue standing on the pedal during day-to-day or even canyon driving that 99.99% of owners are doing.

Pretty clear that these guys have never actually driven one of these cars, or even know very much about it... Perhaps explains why nobody seems to watch their videos - it's essentially the online equivalent of sitting at a bar, listening to some bozo rant on about something they don't really know much about...
The LC's chassis is so solid that just about ANY reasonable brake setup would stop it just fine as it has minimal to no weight transfer when standing on the brakes in an emergency ABS scenario. It stops far better than the more performance-oriented RCF, in fact, at least in my real-world personal tests.
