Cobalt Filly Track and Autocross Build - A Young Man's Racecar Dream

[Emilbadal]

Hey OP, this is a nice thread. I'm pretty sure we have identical spec cars. got a question for you on your Brembo conversion. What were the pros and cons of switching to Brembo brakes? I'm thinking about doing the same conversion but wanted to know your experience with them. Did you change your master cylinder as well or just the front brake kit? how did it affect the stopping power or brake feel, etc?

Thank you! That's awesome to hear!! We did not change the master cylinder. Just finished her second track day with the new brakes with OEM pads and rotors. More than enough stopping power, needs to be bled better but otherwise amazing!
