M/W's Brakes Vs Lamb Brakes

Damn Yankee · 11-11-2013, 05:10 PM

I've searched and read all of the previously posted brake threads regarding M/W's and Lamb, and I know enough to know Lamb is the very best when it comes to brakes. I have received what I consider very good pricing on the M/W's at $2200.00 for both front back with the slotted lightening option. The Lamb's Renfro Kit for my application (1991 Mustang Coupe) with Santhuff struts and 9" rear end are $2850.00.

This is not a high HP deal I am building, but it is a Heads-Up format and I am trying to not leave anything on the table as far as chassis efficiency. The rear differential is a Dewco unit with a Lamb pinion support with ceramics, and we are using ceramics at every axle and spindle.

I have had Strange in the past, and with them, the same issues many other racers have experienced as far as hung up or dragging calipers, and their rotor's warping. So they are not an option. The only company who pays contingency in our series is Aerospace; and two fellow racers I know have them, and have told me to not even consider them.

With that said, I am seeking input from those who have already paved this road, and would like to know if the Lamb's are more efficient going down track than the MW's, and are they worth the extra $650-$700 dollars, or will the MW's lightened brakes work just as well ? Thank you !!!
