The quote I received for both front and rear kits the difference was almost 2 grand in cost between the brake kits, is this going to be worth the extra money or would I be better off spending the 2k else where on the car?
You could put the Aero brakes on the front and Superlites on the rear. Roughly 70% of your braking is on the front. I got my system from Ron Sutton and that is the direction I went.

Yup yup! That's a good package. Aerolite 6's with the 5.40" piston area up front & Superlites 4's in the rear with either 2.46" or 3.00" piston area in the rear.

I think that is what Ryan (Bonebuster29) is going with too.


Thanks for your input.

Wow!! That's some great info Ron. I'm not looking at brakes (I've got mine sorted) but just found your first post really interesting.

Thanks
