What company to buy the front disc barke kit from

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.

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.

I bought Strange .Had trouble mounting them because my original disc brake spindles had been replaced with some early chevelle drum spindles,and the upper bolt was smaller.One side seems to have more drag than the other.Have reshimmed the caliper a few times but has not changed it.Stops ,and holds in the water alot better though.

I put Wilwood on all 4 corners of my 67 Firebird. Very happy with the kit components and function.

After I bleed them properly, they work great!

Todd, what did you end up doing with the brakes on your GTO.

I have heavy stock front spindles and disc brakes on my Chevelle now. I have one bad spindle so I currently am contemplating installing my drum spindles and getting an aftermarket fron kit for my Chevelle 1970.

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?
