With a bit of math you can use a 60-0 in X seconds number and figure out G's pretty easily.

Actually, that number gives you the stickiness of the tire much more than the "Strength of the brake"

How many cars do you know of that won't set off the ABS? Good brakes are repeatable and fade free, while just about any brake can stop a car well from 60 MPH. Sticky tires and a good suspension have the most to do with braking distance.

Those specs aren't exactly useful in the real world
