Not Ranked
I`m going to throw one other thing into this discussion . I`ve got the Sierra brakes on the front and the ERA rear suspension ..... the car does spend time on the track . For street driving , the Sierras will make a "popping " sound when cold as you apply the brakes .... and they will rattle . Talked to Sierra and they said they don`t recommend that caliper for the street . The clearances are 50 thou. all around as the caliper itself is aluminum and that is required so the pads don`t seize at racing temps . You never get up to that temp on the street . I can live with it as , after all , these cars aren`t a boulevard cruiser where you can`t hear anything . If you want racing brake capability ( I did ) , then you have to make some "sacrifices" .
Another thing , the pads furnished by ERA are perfect for the street and LIMITED high speed driving . After two laps at VIR and two 130 + mph come downs at the end of the back and front straights per lap , those pads were toast . I now have track only pads I use for those events .
As ERA Charles said , what are you going to do with the car ? IMHO , competition brakes for the street open up another set of things for you to deal with .
