Re: Performance Brakes
Nothing wrong with any of the aftermarket performance brake systems. What kind of budget do you have? What kind of performance are you looking for?
Good street brakes are different from drag brakes which are different than high performance road race/autocross type brakes. You can easily purchase a brake system that far exceeds what you need on the car.
