Brakes

When I ordered the Atom, four brake option levels were available: base, sport, track, and race. I had originally chosen the sport option, which included 4-piston Wilwood fixed calipers front, and single-piston PBR floating calipers rear, both with single piece 10.3" rotors. This album shows the upgrade to the track option.
