Brake Question
Looking for some advice on the rear brakes for my Stocker.
Do others run staging brakes on the rear of their Stock Eliminators? |

Re: Brake Question
I have seen several Factory Showdown cars with dual rear calipers.

Re: Brake Question
Dual rear calipers will help hold the car on the starting line if you want to get up on the converter. Master cylinder may need to be upgraded for the additional volume.
Line-lok on the rear isn't legal. Have to release with the pedal. |

Re: Brake Question
MW brakes on mine always rock solid. Car runs ASA with a lot of bottom end torque.

Re: Brake Question
I had four wheel Strange brakes on my car (69 Barracuda) for years and had trouble holding it on the line.
I added another strange caliber on the rear and it made a huge difference. No trouble holding it at all. |

Re: Brake Question
TBM, Mark Williams and Lamb will hold the car with no problem.
TBM has the lowest drag of any brake system. |
