I wouldn't get in a big rush to buy a set of Clevelands. In my opinion there are other brake systems that are less expensive and more aerodynamic. I'll let others make specific recommendations, but the thing I dislike most is the way the brake disk and caliper make the whole wheel assembly much wider. You could argue that the disks are hung out there for cooling, but fairing mine in like I did probably negates that. My original brake pads saw 2000 sloppy landings and as many as 12 touch and goes in a row, not to mention something like 75 high speed taxi runs before I ever flew it (but no wheel pants at that point). I just replaced my original brake bads a few months ago, and there was still pleny of material left on them. I have to brake every time I land due to the short strip I land on. Maybe I just wrote a testimonial for Clevelands, but I've seen KRs with other systems (Obrien, GPASC, etc) that are far more compact and apparently effective enough for KR work.
