Aerospace front brakes, feedback appreciated.
Anyone have experience with driving on them on the street? Heard some people say they stop fine, some say increased pedal travel, and barely stop. Any experience or feedback appreciated.

What reason are you replacing the fronts? To save weight? I'd save the money and use it somewhere else if your building a street strip car.

What do you recommend? I was planning on doing the Aerospace street brake kit on mine to save rotational weight off of the car but open to suggestions.

The only drawback I could see someone complaining about is the pad chatter. The calipers are quick release and their is very little pressure on the rotors when the brakes are not being used...hence the chatter. You could possibly glue the pad backing to the piston ring (I think they do that on the C8 now) but it doesn't bother me, it serves its purpose.

I had fronts only in 2018 and went all around in 2019-present.

I have them in the front and some other brand in the rear. Like others have said there is a rattle. I have no issue making repeated stops at the track from nearly 160mph. The pedal does feels funny to me but I only notice it when parked and pushing on the breaks. When driving i don’t notice anything because I never have to mash the pedal very hard.

And, if your running skinnies all the time like I do now those brakes are more than enough to over power the tires. Those skinnies really scream when you hit the brakes hard.

Thanks for the information. I am going to have to most likely put the brakes on the back burner as I think my trans is not happy with my power level right now.

Stock weight or heavier car with 20" wheels or even some drag packs is going to stop like shit with smaller brakes which is why they come with what they do from the factory. Basic weight reduction car on a smaller wheel drag pack setup will probably stop ok with smaller brakes. Extensive weight reduction car with 15" drag pack will probably stop as good as it once did from the factory...maybe even better.
