What are the differences between the Aerospace Street and Race setup?

Race setup saves 31#, street setup saves ~18#, afaik.

i got the car out and drove it quite a bit yesterday. after a bunch of stop and go driving the Strange brakes still have a ton more stopping power than my LS1 brake setup ever did. all i would worry about is rotor warpage, and you will be replacing the pads pretty often. the slotted rotors grind them up pretty good

It's hard to have your cake and eat it too on brakes as they are friction heat sinks. Size / mass does matter. Don't forget your ABS won't work with drag brakes due to lack of sensors.

Kind of like us removing our air bags and bumper impact bars...just like insurance, we only need them when we need them. Just remember, if you have a wreck, your fault or not, with drag brakes, no air bags, no impact bars, etc., your insurance can (read your policy) walk away from you.

Don't take the above as I'm "Mr. Perfect". I think I might have gone at least 1 mph over the speed limit, once. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Nevertheless, my ABS sure did not like my front runners when the deer ran out in front of me last year. Luckily, the deer did not end up with red paint on it.
