Like Lippy, I also spoke with the guys at ERA. For driving on the street, they actually talked me out of the bigger brakes, telling me it would be a waste of money and that I could upgrade later if I decided to track the car. Otherwise, no need. Seeing that I wasn't convinced (I was at their shop, so this was in person), they reminded me that the Camaro brakes were designed to stop a much heavier car and will stop the Cobra just fine. They went on to explain the need for the ERA rear and bigger brakes for track use - primarily for dealing with heat.

So, I respect the opinions of you who have been driving these cars for years, and particularly of those that have driven with both the standard and upgraded brakes. But, put yourself in Lippy's (and my) place where we're being told the opposite by ERA, whom we also highly respect. Confusing to say the least. Since I just installed my brakes, I don't plan to consider asking ERA to exchange them and, as Dan said, will keep this in mind for a future upgrade.
