Drag brakes are designed to be lightweight and small enough to fit under really small diameter wheels so you can fit huge tires back there. They don't have much braking power on the setups I have seen (for street use) but they are resistant to very high heat as they would need to be slowing you down from 180mph in a very short space. Most cars with those traps have a chute anyhow. I agree they aren't for street use but not because of overheating.

If it makes you feel any better, I flinched just a little when I read that.
The real world must be kicking your a$$ for you to have so much hostility like that. I guess the appropriate thing to do now is challenge you back so, "Come on down to Houston so I can punch you in the face and you can look at my car. You may also tell your mother to enjoy the pleasures of an **** excursion."
LOL....hahahahaha

The car in my sig is an 8 second car and is not drive on the street.

We are building out 2006 Pro Driftcars and will be using a Willwood 4-piston setup on all 4 corners of our 240sx's. Rhys Millen had a similar setup on his GTO and loved it! Many street-rods run Willwood as well.
BTW, keep this crap off of the forums and resort to PM's.
