I have Aerospace Component brakes on my '64 car and all of my family's Hemi cars had Lamb Brakes. I highly recommend either as, in my experience, they have little to no drag. There may be other manufacturers whose brakes do the same, but those are the two I know.

That being said, I'm reminded of when I was a kid and we were running my Mom's '79 Volare all the time. Before NHRA allowed aftermarket brakes, that car had factory discs on the front and drums in the rear. Pushing it was AWFUL. Took 3 people to get it to roll 6". We put Wilwoods on it and couldn't believe how much easier it was to move. We were sure it was going to be .25 quicker. It ran the same as it did before the change.

I could not agree more on how hard it is to push mopars. how is your mother?
