I have a bit of a dilema.
I am expecting trap speeds around 135.
To me the stock brakes are not up to the task. (Didn't feel to good at 115)
I added X-drilled/slotted rotors , SS Lines and Hawk pads all the way around. Flush the system with all new fluid. Much better but still

I want to run skinnies but that keeps me from running a decent sized front brake. I wouldn't mind running a Weld XP but they are hard to find and very expensive. (why did they do away with them).

Anyone have experience/opinions?
What about Aerospace brakes?

Thanks

The stock GT brakes will be plenty at 135mph trap speeds, unless your track just has a short shutdown. If you are wanting to spend the money and get good brakes for racing then spend the money on the Strange brake set-up. Skinny Kid is one of the most knowledgable dealers for them. www.skinnykidracecars.com
