I thought for sure you were gonna have brakemans or one of the cheaper STM kits or TCE kits

Nah, I don't have an extra $1000 laying around right now. TCE will be what I go to if I change anything but I have always been impressed with the stock 2 piston calipers, even from 145 plus mph.

Im sure alot of members can vouch for the stopping power of the 2 pisiton stock calipers. You could always pull the shoot if you cant stop. Assuming your gonna need one.

Yeah but I just don't think I will have to, lots of time to slow down at the end of a run.

Depends on the track I guess.. If it was at our rock falls track then you would have zero time to stop/slow down.

I really only run the car at NHRA certified tracks like Norwalk.

Don't you need a 17 inch wheel for those?

I've stopped at rock falls on 2G brakes at 150+ and it wasn't too bad.
