What brake setup are you using?

Getting ready to get the brakes and wheel picked out for the Formula project. I want to put some decent brakes on the car with enough braking capacity for future speeds.

Once the brakes are selected I'll spec out the wheels. What are some of you guys have good luck with? I hear Strange has a decent setup....

The Strange Drag brake kit, along with the manual master cylinder, is a very nice set-up and will save you close to 100lbs.
