Question about brake swap
 
Looking to swap out my drum brakes for disc brakes.
Looking at Wilwood and Aerospace just looking for opinions about which is better

Wilwood is light years ahead of Aerospace in terms of quality.

Between those two, Wilwood. Given my choice, Strange.

I've always used Aerospace and have never had an issue, work great. Light years, yeah right.

One minor thing to consider on the Wilwoods, the hat surface is 3/8" farther out than stock so your tire will be slightly farther out. Considering that tire fit can sometimes be an issue, bear that in mind. Strange dims match the stock offset, can't say on Aerospace. My vote would be to go with Strange.

Aerospace on my car has been excellent. They are local to me but other than some brake pads I have not needed anything. Highly recommend them.

Wilwood makes good brakes for street cars. My choice for a race car would be Strange or Aerospace.

If you could afford to spend perhaps $500 to $700 or so extra, you could be into a pretty nice front brake package from either Mark Williams or Lamb Components....Just saying...
