Re: Light weight brakes and aluminum driveshaft I am running the Strange Drag brakes it saved me about 45 pounds. They are not really for street use but I made it from NY to KY without any problems . you just have to be easy on them and no sharp turns due to the fact that you will have Aluminum axles up front now and thin rotors.

Re: Light weight brakes and aluminum driveshaft In a week I will be installing the Strange front and rear drag brakes. They claim a 35 pound savings in the front and 25 in the rear.

Re: Light weight brakes and aluminum driveshaft I have purchased the light weight aerospace front brakes in the STREET version because I drive on street besides the track. They save about 18 pounds. Have driven them for about 2500 to 3000 miles with no major issues or problems. Worked well in all kinds of weather and have holes to prevent the wheels from heating up. Seemed to stop better at the end of the track than the factory brakes in my opinion. I really like the brakes. Hopes this helps.
