DD drag brakes?

Can you run drag brakes on a true daily driver? What about just rear drag brakes? Let me know what ya think...

i had aerospace rears on my 98 and though i only drove the car daily for about 9 months or so i did replace the pads twice so i doubt the would be much of a issue just expect to replace rotors and pads more often

A lot of stop and go = brake fad, pad wear, warped rotors.

we can get vented rotors for you. They will weigh about 7 pounds per side more.

I'm running aerospace on all 4 corners of my car but it is not daily driven. I do drive it on the street when the weather is nice but like Steve said, you may have to deal with the rotors warping due to being so thin.

other than that it stops great!
