All you guys that run your car at the track frequently, what do you guys run for rear brakes?? Are 10 x 2.5" drums sufficient for stopping a high 10 second dart?

i found mine it the junk yard off a late 60's dart. they had all new parts in them.

Your front brakes will do most of the braking.

if you go with BBP I would go with the C-body brakes 11x2.5 with the finned drums....I took some off a car yesterday at the JY backing plates and all. everything looked good. If your interested I could grab'em and ship'em out to ya.

i have a pair of 11x2.5 inch drums, brand new ordered from chrysler waiting to go on, my dad had ordered them for his 10 drag car before he found the imperial disk, but dont worry a 10x2 is plenty sufficient, on a front engine, rear drive car the back brakes only do 25% of the braking anyways

I've got a set of 11 x 2.5s also. I was just wondering if the 10's will slow a car down at 125 mph in the 1/4. those 11" finned drums weigh a friggen ton. I think I'll just slap the 10's on and try them out. Maybe upgrade down the road if need be.

Evan, You'll probably be more than okay doing that with good front disc brakes. Those bigass C body brakes ARE heavy for a drag car but real nice for a B body cruiser.

Right on. Thanks guys!
