The method of producing maximum deceleration of a vehicle by (1) determining the location of the center of gravity and the weight of the vehicle, and from this information establishing the maximum stopping forces obtainable at the front and rear wheels of the vehicle at various coefficients of friction between the tire and the road surface; (2) determining the braking forces produced by the front and rear wheel brakes for various increments of hydraulic fluid displaced by the master cylinder pistons into the hydraulic lines; and (3) then displacing master cylinder hydraulic fluid into the hydraulic lines for the front and rear wheel brakes to produce the previously established maximum stopping forces at the front and rear wheels as the brake control is actuated.
