Default drag brakes???

well i've seen teh strange kit and the aerospace kit, BUT, both of them say that they are not recommended for street. what other options do you have to try and stop the car from 140-145 mph traps speeds AND still be street worthy? thanks!

I have the aerospace brakes on the back of my 92" camaro. Drag only is because it is a single disc, good and light. On the street they heat up and you will not stop or you will warpe the disc. My 02" has wilwood the twin disc are about a 1" thick, and 6piston for more contact. Hope that helps! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

aerospace makes a street and a race version, i have the race version and love them, i would not recomend using them on an every day car, but my car dose see the street from time to time, and they are the best (I FEEL) for the money!, and are verry light weight <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
