what brakes with skinnies? I tried posting this in the brake section but nothing! For you guys using skinnies wat brakes are you using? What would fit? I know strange and aerospace have kits but not sure about using these on the street and in summer I like to drive my car 3 or 4 days a week to have fun. Yet I want to use skinnies at the track when I want to race! I have Wilwood 6 piston now and they are coming off as there is 0 chance of that working out. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks. Pics would be great too!

Aerospace and Strange make lightweight brakes for drag cars. They do not dissipate heat fast enough for normal stop-and-go driving. Many do run them on the street. You need to be constantly aware of their limitations. No driving on winding mountain roads.

My stock brakes are gone as I have the wilwoods and would have a hard time replacing the wilwoods with stockers. I know dumb but all tha money for nothing! I was thinking about the strange set up but not sure. I see aerospace offers a street set up (I think strange does too). Does anyone know if these fit with skinnies?

They will fit with any skinnies, the caliper is small on the strange, and will cause no clearance problems, you can also have bogarts made to fit strange brakes and they can get a little more lips on them that way ! The brakes them self work better then my stock ones, but they start to fade pretty quick, after a few stops, just gotta pay attention when driving and try to to do to many 60 to 0 stops !

Yeah the caliper looks pretty small! About how long can you drive in normal city traffic before you have a problem? I don't need to get in any accidents just to use skinnies either!
