I was wondering if i even need the back brakes on my car, it's a race only car, 2800lbs, runs 10.90's-11.00's @ 120mph....it has factory front disc and rear drum, but do the drum really do anything?...anyone only running front brakes?, i run a 4.5" wide tire in the front if that helps any....what's your suggestion?, thanks!

Been there, done that. Keep the rear brakes!!! If you go to a track sometime and something happens to a wheel cylinder on front, YOU ARE SCREWED! Keep the back brakes, plus they do more than you think.

Hard to stop a car in stones like at Norwalk without rear brakes. My friend Eric came close to hitting my GP last year pulling into the pits too fast
 . He had no rear brakes working. I made him park somewhere else.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
