I also have had no problems with aerospace, but just installed the new strange stainless steel floating rotors and calipers on my Son's stocker and they are awesome.

I ran the Aerospace brakes for a couple years and fought excessive brake pedal travel. Aerospace tech support (if you can call it that) told me I didn’t know what I was doing. It wasn’t until I just about crashed my car with aerospace brakes I knew it was time to change. Switched to Lambs and never had an issue since. And with them telling me I didn’t know what I was doing? Was a government licensed mechanic in Canada for almost 35 years.

only about a 3100 lbs car or lighter but we've run Aerospace on everything.. no issues. Willwood as well

Lamb stuff is awesome, if it's in the budget nothing compares.

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.....

Mark Williams on my 68 SS/AH Barracuda. Used M/W on 3 other race cars also, never a problem.

Given those choices, Strange. All day long.

Lamb big bucks, but worth it. Install them and never worry about brakes again.

Mark Markow · 05-05-2018, 08:15 AM

lamb or mark Williams would be first choice if price doesn't matter
strange second. great product reasonable price
willwood third
anything but aerospace 4th
stuff you find at a swap meet 5th
and last place . please don't buy aerospace.

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.
