I ran iron rotors on Red Devil vs. Jackass. The main reason was ABS calibration with iron rotors vs. carbon fiber. The carbon fiber rotors require a unique ABS calibration. I'm working on sorting out the carbon rotor ABS issue. The carbon rotors can be a bit touchy at the limit for tire lock-up.

For the parking brake I used Baer racing stuff modified to use the Corvette brakes.

I'm building some new stuff for resolve some ABS sensor issues and a more robust park break system.

If it works I'll post some photos soon.

I have sent the math data to the machine shop and I should have parts soon.
