Brakes Form VS Function

[mikejsmith1985]

Hi all I am about to overhaul my motor and todate this car has been a DD I really don't intend on making this a track car, and I am quite confident that with traction and the right driver my set up has the potential to be a sub 12.00 car. So with all this money sunk into performance parts naturally I'd like to hit the stip a few times and see what it can do but it being FWD traction will certainly be an issue. I have a BEAR big brake kit on it now whic I LOVE the performance and the looks even more! but drag radials or even slicks aren't easy to come by for a 17 x 8 rim. So the quesiton is do I go with something along these lines Nitto 555R Drag Radials 245/45/17 and keep the good look of the big brakes or do I switch to the GSX dual piston and get some real slicks?

Thanks for any input!

I'd get the dual pistons for drag racing and keep the BAERs for every day driving / track days.
