not talking about bearing...talking about housing ends...the GM ends use the ford bearing but I run a "Big Ford" end that uses ford brakes. They will not accept a GM caliper.

for your setup I believe you can only go strange or aerospace...

how much boost are you guys typically seeing on the footbrake with the dual calipers? I know each setup is completely different, just trying to get a general idea

We have done both Aerospace and Strange. The Strange setup is a pain to bleed. One caliper sits on top of the rotor and is not in a place that is easy to get the air out. The Aerospace setup has the calipers at 9 and 3.

Both are good setups. If you want some give us a shout.

The upgrade is 475.00 for the brackets and calipers with hardware.
