Strange Lightweight Drag Brakes - 2007-2009 Shelby GT500 [B4148WC] - $600.00 : Evolution Performance, Performance Parts & Accessories - Ford Mustang & Shelby Experts

I cant keep Fred on the phone long enough to answer my questions.So I'm gonna ask you guys. Will these brakes help with weight transfer thatmuch? Is anyone here running them?

I wouldn't run those on anything but a race car.

Thats what I'm talking about.How difficult is it to switch them over?
I'm trying to get my car to go 9's on the stock blower and a small shot.So wouldn't that help alot with it weighing 75lbs less? And also with weight transwer?

I think you car 60ft.'s well enough...you need more power...If anything the weight saving will help more then the weight transfer.

Why not change over to the gt brakes? There is some weight savings there and you can get all of it for 200. I changed all of it but never checked to see the difference in weight.

I have gt brakes torunmy 15"bogarts and welds. Seems that they didnt save alot of weight.The rotors werelighter but the calipers heavier or vise versa.I just remember it was something like that.

at 10.30s all you need is a small shot to get in the 9s

those brakes are not street friendly and i believe they require spindle
mods .... cutting/grinding .

why don't you just do the small shot and see where your at:shrug:

It may surprise you:burnout:

These brakes as posted above are not for street, but Griggs system uses the Wildwood brake kit which are for the street and also reduces weight.

Those brake will make your car dangerous of you dive it on the road. They are probably boarderline even on the strip. Not worth the risk of wadding your car running those IMO. If you did and the insurance company sees those could get you in more hot water.
