    Have you ever wondered what Nascar used for suspension back in the day?
    « on: January 25, 2011 - 05:54:26 PM »
    I found this super cool/interesting!  :2thumbs:
    Shocked to see they used drum brakes!  :o I wonder if the spindles were a 1 ton truck part? The backing plate looks like a  aluminum casting?

    yes, those are bigger than what Im used to seeing!
    But, my SRT10 front brakes are probably about as big as the current stockers. Theyre huge and its a workout working with them.
