Default Best aftermarket drag brake set-up?

looking into purchasing some brakes for the front and then the rear but wanting some opinions from guys with them. Want something that will work great on and off the track. The car sees mabe 2k miles a year on the streets but def want something that is ok for street use. Looking for a stock style hub.

We have Strange and Wilwood brakes here, and I also do our own in-house kits with Strange components that will save you quite a bit of money. We can ship it out with your rack kit you have ordered. Give us a call!

We only sell the Strange drag brakes for the front and, from our experiences on our our cars and customers, drag brakes are not going to work too well on the street. They are one of the parts that is a really designed for limited use at the track where they will stop a car from 150+ down to 20-30mph once and not sit in stop and go traffic or regular street use. I believe Wilwood makes something lighter in weight, but you'd have to call them up to see if they offer a lightweight kit for the cars.
