RE: UFO brakes

["Chernushin, Alex" <achernus@ball.com>]

Depends on what you do with the car.  I put the Big Red kit on my car,
upgrade from the G60s, and I won't go back.  Of course, I do track events,
where the weight of the car and the G60's don't make for a great
combination.  For everyday driving, UFO's or the G60's are sufficient.
