they seem to be horrible on an otherwise great car. They should put them on the Cobalt.

I think horrible might be too strong but they are not track worthy and that, I suspect, is why they are for sale.

They are excellent street brakes but John uses this car primarily for playing at Texas Motorsports Park and TMS and is switching to Brakes more appropriate for racing. Come out to "viper days" at TMS on Jan 20 and see it run
