No offense to you Don at all. I just wanted to make sure I was going the right way after I heard someone say several race shops said they were no good. I figured a thread with this brand specific would bring out anyone with hostility toward them and get more of an explanation than "race shops said so".

I had there front and rears on my car along with the master cylinder that they had in stock and they where great never an issue at all.
And I got great customer service as well, a year after my purchase I made some changes to the rear end and needed some more shims I made 1 call to them and they shipped me some shims that day at no charge.

I have a set of their vented rotors but haven't gotten around to installing them yet. The thicker, vented rotors still weigh less than OEM, but will provide some extra durability if I get into a "hot lap" situation. I got Aerospace Components because I heard good things about them as well.
What is the weight savings of the vented rotors vs. stock components? I would be installing these on a street/strip car and would need rotors that can stand the constant stopping of this type of driving.
It is good to read that the aerospace brakes are working well for most, as I could swear I read on here awhile ago digging through old threads that the aerospace brakes need to "pump up" before you get a positive pedal feel- something iirc people were complaining about when going to jump on the brakes at the big end

I had them front and rear on my Duster, and that's how mine were. I had to give the pedal a quick partial pump, and then push the pedal again for full stopping power. I bled the brakes many times, thinking it was air somewhere in the lines. IIRC, the pistons inside the calipers retract a little bit, to eliminate any chance of brake drag going down the track.

Yes, and if I recall more than one person was experiencing the same or similar things....Those who have responded above, does anybody notice this with their brakes??

Mine were the same way..... Little petal "prep" then ready to rock. I replaced stock 340 Duster Kelsey Hayes disk setup. Those, the tire would go about 1/3 of a turn spinning the tire before stopping.
Replaced with the Aerospace units, and tire would spin forever before stopping

Aerospace front and rear on my Cuda. I do have the pedal pump up problem on mine. Bled brakes many times with no luck, then installed a Moroso 2psi residual pressure valve hoping to solve the problem. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wil-260-1874/overview/It is much better but still not cured. The car stops fine, but it is a PIA to get enough pressure for line lock to hold. I am running the master cylinder they recommended and sold me. A friend suggested that I may have the small bore master cylinder and that could be the problem. It is one of my things to look at this winter when I do my updates. Again, it stops fine, but pumping up for line lock is a PIA. -Dave

We have them on the front and rear. Had some issues with the front/rear bias and the technical support was outstanding. They provided system pressures on the front/rear so we could sort that out. I sent all the calipers back to them to be rebuilt last year since we didn't know the history on them and the fee was reasonable. We are running the MP master cylinder with no issues.
