Default Brakes- Number of pistons ?
Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation (SSBC), has sponsored a complete brake system for my Cobra upgrade build.

Although the car will be mainly used on the street, I will be racing large & small parking lot road course's, to racing in the Sandhills Open Road Challenge (SORC) in Nebraska, Kansas Motor Speedway road course, and possibly the Nascar oval in Iowa.

I believe the 6-piston front's would be overkill, even if they would fit inside the 15" wheels, so the question is, what number of pistons should we use front & back ?

I assume,
Front- 4 ?
Rear- 2 ?

Which brand & type of pads (if not from SSBC) ?
