Willwood, Strange or Aerospace?

[Dyno]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[CMcAllister]

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.

Installed mine back in 2010, before I closed my shop. I don't know what another brand could do, that these do not. No pedal is not the brand. Wrong pedal ratio, or master cylinder bore. I was warned once about "smoking all 4 tires at the finish line." Didn't realize I locked them up. Wheels roll freely, good pedal, plenty of breaking power.
What else is there?
Maybe they changed something.

I'll have to concur with Ed...Aerospace being used on three different cars and no problems over the years. I would not expect any problems out of the other brands as well.
