Mike I posted at the other board also, plenty of options just to name a few
Strange
Aerospace
Mark Williams
Wilwood
I have the Mark Williams, I think they are a great setup
My brother has the Aerospace setup, seems to be a good setup also
Depends on how much you want to spend

We have run aerospace on other race cars with no problems

Madman what are the problems with the aerospace? I'm curious b/c we have them on other cars.
I'm looking into the mark williams, and strange......I don't plan on this car ever going over 150-160

I've had Wilwood Drag brakes on all 4 corners for over 10 years and not one problem, 3200lbs 150 mph no problem. Street and track.
If I were buying new brakes right now I'd probably buy Strange. If I could afford them I'd buy Mark Williams Carbon Fiber ones, now they are way cool.

i know the strange setup is about 950$ how much is the M/W set?
is there a weight difference or caliper drag difference? i know right now that my stock front ones have severe drag when the car is lifted and trying to roll them.... thats atleast a good .1 in the 8th i would think...

As madman said..... mark williams is the best.
As a side note, one of my customers cars had an issue with an aerospace caliper flexing where there bolted together when the brakes were applied. Im not a big fan of aerospace myself.
For drag race only and on a budget, Ide go for the stange. MW if i had the money.
