Default Lightweigh Brakes

Is anybody running aersopace front and rear street kit brakes on their car? If you are, what are the weight savings compare to stock brakes front and back? Also, would there be any fitment issues running bogard wheels for track duty? Any help with these questions would be highly appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I have seen the Street kit in person and id be suprised if you saved 10 lbs. The Drag kit saves about 30 lbs. This is for the front. Not too sure on the rears. I hear 25 lbs for the Drag kit.

Kent,

Madman changed mine out to Strange racing front brakes and we saved about 43 lbs off the front end. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I have not driven the Hot Rod on the street or Track just yet but I will tell ya how they do. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I will be driving the car on the street and a few trips to the stripe. I want to keep my car functional on the street and other uses. Does anybody have the exact/approximate weight save by using aerospace front brakes? Are there any other brands available to fit this situation? Also, thanks for the replies. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
