Willwood, Strange or Aerospace?

Ed, ....
..See Bob Gullets post below yours....If you have had no issues consider yourself very fortunate....I will take my chances drinking Flint, Michigan tap water before I drive a race car with Aerospace brakes.....

Might be the installer, not the parts. Excessive pedal travel, ask and competent automotive technician, is caliper/rotor alignment/cylinder sizing. Too small master cylinder bore = excessive pedal travel. Caliper not square with the rotor = excessive pedal travel. DIY guys usually need a dummy proof install pkg. My car stops great, with no excessive pedal travel. Has for about 8 years now.

The same installer, Bob Gullet,...installed the LAMB brakes with far greater results. I believe Mark Markow sums it up best....

Pedal travel is not the brand. SMH
Simple hydraulics. Some seem to need a simple take it all out of a box & bolt it on kit.

It should be a simple calculation of piston area and master cylinder bore. But I've seen more than one car with Aerospace kits that should have worked, but didn't. Could not get a pedal, even with a big bore master, until a Lamb master was installed.

And I've seen guys get kits from Wilwood with calipers that had small bores for some reason (ordered wrong part# maybe) and the balance would be all out of whack. Strange has always been plug and play.
