Strange Brakes - Page 2

I have a 1968 camaro that is slowly being built into a stocker as my budget allows. The car weighs 3320 with driver right now and is bracket raced running 10.teens. I am putting disk brakes on the front of the car and will eventually be upgrading to rear disks also. I was looking at the wilwood vented slotted cross drilled kit mainly because somewhere someone had told me i need the vented rotors as my car is too heavy for a solid rotor?

I have liked the Strange brakes for a while now and called them today and the rep said that their kit would work fine on my car and that the weight was not an issue. I was also told i can retain my stock master cyl until i upgrade to four wheel disks, also that i should not use the stock prop. valve that is in the car now and just put a adjustable one in, which i was planning.

My question is how many guys are running the strange fronts with a camaro or nova stocker? any pros or cons?

I would LOVE some lamb brakes or mark williams but the budget just does not allow it nor do i feel i need it.

thanks for any replys, i appreciate it!!
