disc brake opinions
« on: February 03, 2006, 09:16:25 AM »

My car is strictly used on the street. Should I use a Wildwood front disc setup or a stock late model A body disc setup?

The nice thing about the 73-76 a body disc brake conversion is that once you have the spindles and upper control arms, the rest of the parts are still available from parts stores. Don't know about Wilwood brake stuff, if it is only available from them$$

No reason to use aftermarket brakes unless you want bragging rights, UNTIL they are necessary from a performance standpoint.

Stcok set-up is better for street. The wildwood stuff will cost you more and you won't get as many miles out of it.
