Default Red Devil Titanium Brakes...

Does anybody have these? I was reading in vette magazine that with just the 4 titaNIUM ROTORS AND PADS they are getting 85-90 ft 60-0 stopping distances. They are 4k just for the rotors but these recorded times are shorter than any aftermarket kit I've seen. Anyone have these brakes?

I dont know, but I see that MidAmerica sells Ti rotors and calipers probably similar to that. They are 1,000 per rotor and about the same for calipers. Supposed to drop 35lbs+ of unsprung weight.

Not too many folks will spend $4000 on brake rotors. The lower usprung weight and rotating mass is nice. We need to find a tester to see if their claims are true.

Thats true. 4k is a lot. But if you look at the other big brake systems out their that cost that and more, the stopping distances are better.

There is a multi page discussion about these brakes over in Autocross and Road racing section. When you read it very very carfully these brakes are not really for 3000 lbs cars even though it was in Vette mag

Wilwood and Stoptech big brake kits will stop your car much faster for far less money.

and I think that was $4,000 just for the rotors not counting the calipers or pads.

by the time your done you'll have over $7,000 in your brakes so unless your building a World Cup car get something more realistic for street use
