Default wilwood drag brakes

most of the f-body camp was happy with thiers, its all the other kits that are having problems. I'm setting up a G-body car, so its a little off topic.

I haven't heard of anyone around here running the Aerospace kit on the front except Terry. I know he is happy with them.

I didn't know Wilwood made a front "drag race" type lightweight setup for our cars. I thought only Strange and Aerospace did.

Any info on the Wilwood package (I have the Wilwood "Pro Street" brakes on the rear of my car)?

I have the Aerospace brakes all the way around on my car. Love the looks and the fit was good. I had to get some diff bolts but everything bolted up nicely.
