What company to buy the front disc barke kit from
 

Thanks to all who responded to my last question about weight savings on front disc brakes.

Next question,

Where did you get your front brakes from, did you like them. How did they work. Thanks in advance...

Strange Engineering brakes are top notch. Straight forward to install and work great.

Lamb fronts here, they do not drag, and are 38 lbs. lighter than my OE front discs. The fit, quality, and performance are first class.

x2 on Lamb. Took off 44# from OE for me. Might cost a little more but WELL worth it. I also got great service and help from Roger.

I purchased three sets of Aerospace for my F-Bodies. They have all been replaced with Strange!

1) Lamb
2) Mark Williams
3) Strange
4) Willwood

I use MW. Any of the four have an excellent reputation, cost being the deciding factor.
Despite all the hoo-rahs on Aerospace, I've seen too many complaints written about them. I don't think I've ever seen a complaint on the four listed above.

What problems did you have with your Aerospace brakes? Mine have been fine for four years now. Light, don't drag, stop well, and bolted right on. Have been in troublefor smoking all four tires at the stripe. What else are they supposed to do?

In my many years of racing and with numerous cars.....

I have had most all of them and some no longer available.....

Some issues I've had were...

Strange....calipers leaked on strut fronts. Strange sent us different seals and told us to fix them...the struts were nearly new.....
Strange..... rear rotors were cracked and split and that was on my present 7 second dragster!
In their defense the rotors had been cut slightly.....about .025" (not by me).......I would advise no one should cut their race rotors....
Aerospace....Rotor to hat bolts loosened up and tore up the caliper dogbone mount.....lucky I did not have a crash on that one....Very small bolts...and they are allens and countersunk...no way to safety wire them....Poor design....
Wilwood.....My buddies 3000lb car warped the rotors on just a few runs on the front........He had to change to a heavier vented style rotor.....
I installed some Lamb components on one car and they were perfect.....No issues whatsoever and most people know Lamb and Mark Williams are the best by far......

The Wilwood kit I installed on my '97 Firebird on the front worked perfectly and is still working on that car for the present owner with no problems.....

The cost of that kit was less than half of what a Mark Williams or Lamb set would have cost as it used the stock front hubs......I do not recall the name of the company I bought it from but they were in Pa.......and did Street and Race work and the kit was an excellent fit........RaceTech or something like that........

Well said, Jeff!!! I run Mark Williams on all 4 corners. If you're interested Todd, Mike Pustelny can get great pricing on Mark Williams products.
