Default Strange brake setup

Just wanted to see if any of you guys drove around town with the strange brake setup. I know they say no street driving to cover them. So I was just curious. Wanting to lighten up this pig and get better stopping and less rotating mass.

Some do use their Strange racing brakes on the street, they use common sense with what they are designed to do vs what they are asking of them.
I believe member studdering has done this.

As You know it is not recommended so here comes the part You probably don't want to hear but I have to cover My tail. Don't use racing brakes on the street!

I have the rear only and at first the pedal had a lot of travel but I'm right at about 200 miles on them and the pedal is back to normal pedal travel and feel. Car stops fine on the street
