Tons of threads on the same question 
Ill have mine on my car one day, keep in mind it get like no more then 1000 miles and year, and only gets on the highway to go to the track and thats only because I don't have a truck and trailer right now.
IT WOULD NOT be the way to go or safe to buy on a daily driver.
Would be dangerous if you ask me.
If you are like me and just take it out to local cruise spots and all then I would think you wold be ok but don't take my word for it.

i loved mine on the street, stop waaaaaaaay better than factory brakes, just dont do alot of stopping, worse case you warp a rotor and realize you stop to much, lol. i never had problem with mine and drove them all the time
Curious, those who have these brakes on the rear, how do you go about your routine for a burnout? obviously these rotors warp very easy. i have them as well as a line lock but havent had a chance to try them out yet.

Verdad Gallardo i got ya... yeah without a linelock i definitely wouldn't do it. on my 6speed car i didn't have a linelock, so i'd have to do the sidestep then slam on the brakes, it warped my wilwood hd rotors
I just got a set of the aerospace prostreet brakes, very light 4 piston calipers front and rear, thin split rotors and capable of daily driving. You may want to check them out.

I tried this in the last thread, but nobody seemed to have an answer. Do the strange front brakes allow for the use of a wider 15 inch front wheel? I'd like to have a set of matching wheels, but don't want to run skinnies on the street with as much driving as I do.
