One time my brake caliper was siezed.................rather than buying a new caliper I just took the siezed one off and crimped the brake line closed. I say if 4 calipers stopped the car good, 3 will stop it just fine.

I think 3 is overkill. I completely removed my front calipers to save weight. Just having rear brakes makes it more fun to drive and makes mad tyte drifting easy.

I also removed my steering wheel and just use a set of Vise-grips. One handed steering makes shifting easier.

Occasionally (depending on track condition) I let all the air out of my tires. Again, it saves weight and it makes the car sit even lower for killer aerodynamics.
