[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16042161, member: 68944"] I really like that this kit keeps weight down when you spec the street rotor. Obviously the small stock 2p calipers and 13” aren’t obnoxiously heavy, but I like that you can step up to a bigger more capable system that is lighter thanks to its engineering. Adding just 1-2lbs of unsprung weight at each corner can have a decidedly negative effect on how nimble and playful a car is. Add heavier wheels, huge brakes for the sake of shows and events, and dedicated drag radials like a Hoosier or Mickey (great track tire though) to a cobra and it can become something unenjoyable to drive. Now on the other hand, taking older cars like a terminator and lopping 10-15lbs at each corner by getting much lighter brakes, rims and stickier tires can breath new life into how these cars drive. I’d personally spec the 14” road racing rotors because at 5-6lbs heavier, it not so much that it’ll kill steering feel, but it is much better for stops from high speed which I routinely hit. Just a few pulls high speed pulls and stops and my current 13” Brembo cobra r kit starts to get squishy. The 14” heavy duty steel rotor should stand up much better to heat tolerance, and be a more usable surface area for the pads to scrub against, keeping those cooler as well. [/QUOTE]
