Default Re: Strange Brakes

Thanks for all the replys guys!!!

So i am set on the Strange brakes!! Will be ordering next week.

So i will be removing the stock distribution block that the car has now and installing a new strange adjustable prop. Valve. All the lines will be flushed but will remain the same, as will the stock 68 camaro master cyl. (master was new three years ago) I will also be buying the brake pressure gauge that screws into the bleeder. I was told that would help in adjusting the prop valve. He said to set them between 550-650lbs. and they should be fine.

Thanks again and if anyone has any recomendations or tips or anything to add to that please let me know!! thanks

I know you cut Lamb out of this picture
But you should call Roger and ask him why his brake packages cost more
He is a great guy to talk to and he will explain why
After talking to him make up your own mind
Many have bought brakes by others only to call him and end up with Roger fixing the problems
And I have his brakes on both cars so I know what he is about...

This is how "good" they look if you have "big windows" in the wheels!

Looks like it's been driven on some of our fine highways here in the Northeast! ....Seriously,Ive never had more than a little surface oxidation in the rotors,but my cars are always in a heated shop, or an insulated trailer. .....Tom

Scott,

Take Mark's advice and call Roger. I have had all brands on different cars in the past. All had different problems! Lamb Disc Brakes are the only brakes to buy. The quality and service is second to none.

I completely understand what you guys are saying about Lambs, I have read, looked, asked and heard many good things about them. Being 22 years old, its all baby steps for me. I began building the car at 14 and now am trying to slowly bring the car to a higher level. I contemplated buying the lambs, almost decided too but just can not see spending 1,600 dollars on front brakes when i have been running on stock drums just fine.

I see it kind of like the cell phones theses days, back before we had them or when they were very expensive, noone had them, they would call on a house phone, write a letter, etc. once they got a cell phone they cant see life without it.

I feel the strange will be a great step forward and will be economical also. If things go as many have said they will, the brakes should bolt right up and be a night and day diff over my stock drums. Thanks again guys!!
