    aftermarket disc brakes
    « on: January 10, 2006 - 08:34:37 PM »
     :ebay:I have been looking for a aftermarket set of disc brakes for my 70 Cuda. I like the Baer but not the price. I am very interested in Wilwoods.
    Does anyone out there have a set up for sale?? ???

    Wilwood had different systems for varing applications you want a disc with factory style venting between the brake surfaces , the thinner non vented style will overheat & warp quickly on the street

    I went with MPBrakes. They are a bit too good for the street, too much vacuum so it bites at a certain length.
    I will be taking off there booster and restoring my original.  :P

    I got lucky and found my Wilwood fronts for sale on eBay for $550 shipped. But otherwise, I've never seen them for less than $650 (Jeg's/Summit price). I've been happy with them.

    Just ordered 13 inch Baer brake rotors and the hydroboost system to help me stop on a dime. My friend did it on his charger and is very happy.
