You've spoken about your brake setup being designed for the car.
What's wrong with what I've done? I nabbed the brake hardware off a high end high performance car that is heavier than the hot rod. My thinking was that Mercedes wasn't going to flake out on the brakes used on $150,000+ cars. It had to be decent stuff. They spent FAR more money and time figuring out the brakes than what some independant shop would have done.

The hardware definately does the job. I haven't been able to cook the brakes on this setup and it's not for lack of trying.
The car hasn't been on a road course yet but I'm not worried about the brakes fading or failing.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
