Re: Want to race for real??

Benefits of running a Chevette, parts are amazingly expensive because nobody makes them. They're Corrado rotors ($40 so actually less than standard rotors) and the Dynalite calipers are only $120. Pads are cheaper than stock too with better compound choices. We're still running rubber brake hoses, so we didn't add any cost there aside from a brass thread adapter for the caliper. I was worried that the upgrade would fit the rule too but after crunching the numbers it all worked out, it's kind of crazy.
