they work great when everyhting is sized correctly. and you have the correct pads. it simplifies the system and looks much cleaner.
not to many race cars have power brakes that I know of.
Blake thanx for your input it does look like that's the way were going to go.

My biggest concern for you Mario, I see you as a 99% street guy. I'd put power brakes on any car that is a more dedicated street warrior vs. race car. I never liked manual brakes all that much around town. They are great at higher speeds or once you have some heat in the pads. They just require to much leg around town.

Personally, I'd try them out without ABS unless you plan on road racing or switch to a steel rotor. Unless you just want to
Todd you do have a valid point. I really intend to drive this thing hard. But we don't have as many places or events as you guys do over on the west coast. So your 99% would be accurate. We do have the AUTOBAHN race club very near my house that I'm looking into. But its not open to the public its a Country Club for racers big money to become a member.
