Default light front brakes for the Super 10

*Mark Williams is approx. $1130.00

* Strange is approx. $780.00

* About $350.00 difference between Strange and Mark Williams

* I have Strange rear brakes on the Super 10 and with other buildups Strange has given good service.

* The Super 10 has factory front brakes and I am looking at weight savings.

Any suggestions?

Larry,

I have Strange all the way around on my Mustang. I have tried all kinds of tricks so the front wheels will not drag due to the calipers not retracting the pistons enough. The calipers have been rebuilt, springs have been installed to push the pads away from the rotors. As soon as the brakes are applied, they start dragging again.

I believe this is a common problem with Strange, so I am not sure I would install them over the MW for $350.

BTW glad to hear your first outing went well!

Sean

Sean,

Had the same problem, Strange brakes front and rear, the fronts would hold a small amount of residual pressure after pumping the brake pedal. You could crack the bleeders and a small amount of fluid would squirt out and then they would spin free. I swapped the brake lines front to rear and the problem switched to the rear brakes. I changed to a new duplicate size Strange master cylinder and the problem was solved. I disassembled the problem master cylinder but was never able to figure out why it was holding pressure.
