Willwood, Strange or Aerospace?

[Mike Pearson]

I am with Ed on this one. I have had Aerospace on my car for quite a few years. They have worked flawlessly. There is absolutely no drag. I can spin my fronts and they are very free. I also have a nice firm pedal and don't have to do any pumps of the pedal.

One thing that will cause drag Is if you are heavy on the brakes at the finish line it will wear the brake pads on a skew and they will drag like crazy. A nice soft touch on the pedal and the pads will wear evenly. I have installed Aerospace brakes on several cars with excellent results. They are a good company with good people and customer service.
Now if they aren't installed properly then that could be the problem.

In my younger years all I looked at was price, so I converted my Stock Eliminator car at the time over from factory disc brakes, to Aerospace because they were cheaper than their competitors. They looked pretty, but that was about all they provided, dragged terrible, pedal sucked, wore pads, just a complete nightmare.

Sent them back to Aerospace multiple times just to have them tell me I installed them wrong. Finally bought a Strange kit, simply unbolted the Aerospace and bolted up the Strange, and all my problems disappeared.

Some say they have had zero problems with Aerospace, but I think you will find most have been unsatisfied. Just spend a little more and buy good parts, it will cost you less in the long run.

My first set of racing disc brakes was in 1978, Hurst/Airhearts. Since then I've used JFZ, Strange carbon/carbon, Wilwood, M W and lately Strange steel. Over this time period I've noticed changes in the Strange brakes that show me their committed to improving their product, ie directional calipers using different size pistons. Also the front kit uses aluminium hubs designed to fit one bolt circle not both. ( either 4.5 or 4.75 ) This saves on weight. Overall, IMO, Strange is the best value.
