No need to get upset, we are all in this for the same reasons, just a difference of opinion....
I think speculating what will come down the road is necessary.... You've gotta see the forest through the trees.... If you don't look any further than the present you will make bad, bad decisions...... I hope these posts are archived, because I see exactly where this is heading.... Exactly where the brake system is now...... aftermarket companies will make options for these brakes, because people will demand them, and there is money to be made.... Exactly what has happened this time....
have you ever heard the definition of insanity...... Doing the same thing again and expecting different results......... They started once upon a time with a "budget brake system" and look where it has ended..... Hey, let's do it again and see what happens.......
I'll say it again, put a claimer on the brakes calipers and pads..... want to spend that much, fine, but they can be claimed for a fair "stock" price. THAT would stop the progression of these higher priced components to these systems, etc......
Solutions have been given to this in other threads, I am too tired of repeating it..... I have also read on here that the calipers last forever, I have never had a problem with a brake system designed to stop a full sized car stopping my little legend, and that rebuild kits are available, and will be for some time. If it were exactly clear that these calipers are gonna disappear there would not be other people saying that there are plenty to be had.
What frustrates me is that I got into Legends because it was a class that was spec. Cars are suppose to be the same, and the driver made the difference. Look where we are now....
spooled vs welded rear ends
Light wheels vs. Heavy Wheels
1250 sealed vs 1200 open vs 1219 sealed?? (just learned about the 1219 sealed today on here....)
Now, stock brakes vs. brakeman brakes vs. presumed "Wilwood brakes"...
aren't we getting away from the whole idea of spec? It is starting to head towards the direction of who has the deeper pockets can afford a better car, and therefore be quicker. I watched the late models head this same direction in this area and they are now all but non-existent in this part of the world.
again, I bet I have a lot in common with all of you in racing... We all love to race, and are passionate about it, I just hate that the costs of racing to continue to rise exponentially....... Have purses followed??? is the economy that good right now?
?? Just wondering if this is the best approach to be taking...
