Aftermarket brakes

Are any of you guys running a aftermarket brake kit? And are you using them in the street also?

Re: Aftermarket brakes

Put a set of heavy 74 stock disks on the front, and Willwood 4piston disks on the rear. Stops fast enough that I always look in the rear view to see whats behind me and if there paying attention!

Carefull tho, not having an emergency brake is illegal in some states, and a significant SCARE if something happens to your pedal / mastercylinder / braking system.

Re: Aftermarket brakes

I run stock discs with ceramic pads in the front, and Aerospace in the rear, with the correct proportioning block. Like Marv said, keep an eye in the rearview!

Yes, I've run Lamb, Mark Williams and Wilwood kits. I run Mark Williams' rear kits of late since I use his symmetrical housing ends of the majority of my projects. I am currently running Wilwood 6-piston calipers on my front brakes with stock-style vented rotors.
