Default WHos motor plates and front brakes

Who motor plates are you guys using?
What front brakes for street/strip to use with stock spindles? I had seen some that someone had that had a new hub that bolted to the stock spindle but I'm not sure if they were drag race only brakes

We use Aerospace brakes a lot. How much street driving and how heavy is the car? We also have motor plates.

I recently purchased a Burkhart motor plate setup for my BBC swap. I'm happy with their products.

I am thinking of going the motor plate route to free up all that room. Does anyone make a bolt in kit or are these all weld in kits? Will these work with any aftermarket k-member?

edit: I forgot to add, I have seen them in 1pc and 2pc, which are better?

Almost all LS1 kits are 2 peice. The tabs need to be welded to the frame.
