Default Rear Drag brakes and Champion wheels

I have been wanting to upgrade from my darkstars and have decided on getting a set of champion wheels and I know I need drag brakes.

So I have been trying to figure out which ones I need. I have looked and most I see are for light cars. I have a full weight(with tubular front suspension), caged, 4l80, iron block with t6 turbo out front 99 Z28. I will be doing weight reduction soon but as of right now that's the setup. I seen a few people run the dual caliper Aersopace rear brakes but then read that some people have issues with them and go with the strange setup but I cant find any for heavy vehicles. Which ones do I need to go for? The car will be street driven a couple times a month.

And is any sponsor a dealer for Champion wheels?

I know the strange fits with champion. I don't think they do the dealers anymore, you gotta buy from them. Which is fine, they are awesome to deal with.

Aerospace components are equally easy to deal with Scott. I think those Champions will look sick.

John's car is the one who sold me on the wheels haha.

John do you have any issues slowing down? Weight?

Subhumaz do you have the single or dual caliper?

The Strange brakes are by far the nicest lightweight brakes on the market. Cost, quality, and performance are top notch. Give us a call and we will be glad to help!
