Aftermarket brakes
Are any of you guys running a aftermarket brake kit? And are you using them in the street also?

Re: Aftermarket brakes
Put a set of heavy 74 stock disks on the front, and Willwood 4piston disks on the rear. Stops fast enough that I always look in the rear view to see whats behind me and if there paying attention!
Carefull tho, not having an emergency brake is illegal in some states, and a significant SCARE if something happens to your pedal / mastercylinder / braking system.

Re: Aftermarket brakes
I run stock discs with ceramic pads in the front, and Aerospace in the rear, with the correct proportioning block. Like Marv said, keep an eye in the rearview!
