brakes

What is every one running for front brakes. I am looking at the Aerospace 4 piston kit for my car. Just wondering if any one else is using it on theirs.

I think we put the Strange set up on Chris Chow's Car.
He has not had any issues with it.

Wow, time to upgrade!
Mine are all stock too and it stops but barely!
Took a look at my front rotors a while ago and saw that both were cracked from heat.
I need to upgrade before the car goes back on the road.
