====================================

Ok let's try this.

For a Protouring Car, that will be street driven 50% of the time, track driven (Drag and, Road) the other 50%.

What brakes would you recommend and why?
The car will have 550-600 hp at the rear wheels, mini tubes, 3-link or Quadra link rear and DSE, or AM or CA Front Subframe.

Would you mind telling me which brakes would become overkill.

Thanks,

Tyoneal

Depending weather you want 12" / 12" 4 piston / 4 piston, (about $1500) or 13" / 12" 6 piston / 4 piston (about $2200), or 13" / 13" 6 piston / 4 piston, (about $3200) or the big boys, 14' / 14", 6 piston / 4 piston (about $3500), there is no better brake / bling for the buck in the brake industry then GP Super Stores Total car brake kits.

Total car kits include E brake cables, Braided hoses, master cylinnder and prop valve. Everything but hard line.

So just define you budget and brake / bling requirments.

BTW, we are also a Chris Alston dealer. It is a very nice frame, but you are limited to using their brakes. Lucky for you they use Wilwood, but their brakes are proprioty Wilwood products. So just keep all this in mind going forward. Your brake size may be determined by your frame choice.

Frank

thanks for the information. I queried, "Total car brake kits", on the GP Super Store forum/active GP's list and didn't find anything.

Obviously, I'm looking in the wrong place.

Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Tyoneal
