Default Red Devil Titanium brake kit

Spotted this on CL and I'm very intrigued but never heard of Red Devil before. Searched for it here in this section of the forum and found some really bad stories about titanium rotors. But I don't see any reason I couldn't use these calipers with iron rotors. Do the pads work with iron rotors? Is the price reasonable for just the calipers?

It looks like they sell street and race pads. I'm just not sure of the composition or if they would work with iron rotors. If nobody here knows, I'll call the company on Monday.

Great! I'm afraid to jump into something so obscure. Especially after reading a thread like this;

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ke-rotors.html

Do you have a comment about that? How many people are tracking 3000+ corvettes with your rotors? Do you sell pads that fit these calipers and work with iron rotors if the Ti's don't work for me or are too expensive for me? Thanks.

Paul, just following your posts it seems you are building the car to track for a long time. I would be concerned about parts availability for rebuilds in the long run, and would be interested to know if the pad shapes are shared across other calipers. I also like having the support of a proven more common AP (Essex or DRM), Stoptech, or Wilwood BBK.

Yes, thanks. I will not be buying.
