Front brake kit choices
My Firebird has Wilwood front brakes
I installed them in 2006 and are well used They tend to have a lot of drag and my experience with both Wilwood and Strange brakes is not great. Mark Williams brakes were far better on my dragster Trying to decide who?s brakes to buy Strange Mark Williams TBM Strange rotors always warped on my dragster and are the least expensive for the Firebird Mark Williams were far better, no warping and no drag TBM ? Just trying to decide where to spend my money Any feedback on these 3 would be appreciated

Re: Front brake kit choices
I've sold several sets of TBM and have them on my own stuff. They're nice brakes. They even stepped up as an event sponsor for our Midwest Class Racers series this year. I'd be happy to help you out.

Re: Front brake kit choices
I?ve got a complete set of Mark Williams front and rear brakes that I took off of my LT1 Firebird for sale. All hardware included.
Fronts - https://www.markwilliams.com/75250.html Rear - https://www.markwilliams.com/71225.html Let me know if you?re interested.

I really like TBM and MW for the win. Night and day when I took off the wilwoods and put the TBM on.

Re: Front brake kit choices
I'd say Lamb or M/W...
Have no experience with TBM so can't say... |

Re: Front brake kit choices
I have had Lamb and MW on my cars. Never had TBM but hear great things about them. When replacing the brakes on the car I just purchased, I went with Lamb. Truly no comparison in my opinion.
