Who's got good brakes? Strange? Wilwood? I'm looking for info on aftermarket brakes.. I'm not too concerned with streetability, I just need to get some weight off this pig.. I saw the Strange brakes on Billingley's site, but I was thinking there was a more economical alternative <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Any ideas?
thanks

Re: Who's got good brakes? Strange? Wilwood? Aerospace brakes all the way around here. 4 piston fronts 4 piston rears. Manual brakes as well.

Re: Who's got good brakes? Strange? Wilwood? Lightweight better brakes just aren't cheap no matter how you slice it. Make sure you shop around and compare the features. I liked the Mark Williams setup. Not only does it have tha *bling bling* factor they stop on a dime. Just make sure you get the big master cylinder.
Here's the link. My car with all the blower stuff and complete stock interior including the rear seat weighed in a 3180. The only two real lightening features at that time were the tubular k-member and the brakes.
