Aerospace Components lightweight "street" brakes

Aerospace components front brake setup for 93-02 F-body. The brake setup only has around 2400 miles on them. These are off my fathers car and the car is undergoing a complete transformation from the current setup.

This lightweight setup is designed for STREET cars....not the "drag only" setup. I've driven the car numerous times and the stopping power is comperable to a stock LS1 brake setup with good pads. MUCH better than than the stock LT1 brakes. According to Aerospace Components, this setup is about half the weight of the stock brakes. Currently, the rears do not have a parking brake setup on them. You can buy the adapters for the parking brake kit from Aerospace Components.

***In addition to the above, the buyer will also be getting both front spindles and hubs so that this is a directy bolt-in with no additional work needed. I'll also include the stainless braided brake lines for all 4 corners. Therefore, you won't have to hack up your existing spindles and can re-sell them. You'll also save a hefty chunk of change by not having to buy the braided lines!

The fronts sell new for $815 not including the spindles, hubs, or stainless braided lines, and the rear setup sells for $700 new. $1515 total

Hi Jason, please check your PMs! I had a few questions about this setup a while back (week or two ago) that might have gotten lost.
