Default 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

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.

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.

I'd say Lamb or M/W...
Have no experience with TBM so can't say...

If you're going to spend money get Lamb. They aren't much more expensive than the TBM's and there is no comparison.

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.
