Most of the cars that race against a Devin are cars constructed after 1960, such as Cobras, Mustangs, Lotuses, etc. These cars have much newer technology including the brakes and suspensions. In order to compete with these cars, most race organizations allow running similar brakes. Therefore, the factory issue 12" Girling style solid front brake rotors were replaced with a later style vented rotors. The rears rotors and brakes are 11" original discs with Girling single piston calipers. They work fine, provided air is provided to cool them. |
