Re: 82 Firebird brakes
Lamb or Mark Williams if money is not a big factor....Strange if your on a budget. I would not even look at anything other than those three.

Check with Corkey. They have Wilwood and Aerospace. The Aerospace work excellent on my car and the price is good

Re: 82 Firebird brakes
I have had Aerospace on my car for five years now. Good price, light weight, don't drag, stop great. Not sure what another brand could do better.

Re: 82 Firebird brakes
I never like to go against my boy Ed Wright, but I have had Aerospace and they were absolutely, positively junk! My dad had Strange on his car and they were not any better.
I would not have a race car without Mark Williams or Lamb brakes. PERIOD!!! |

Re: 82 Firebird brakes
I have had Aerospace brakes all the way around on my stocker since they became legal. I have raced enough that I have had to replace the pads once. When I ordered them I asked about fluid and followed their recommendation. I have also flushed and bleed regularly. We spend big money on oil, trans fluid, race gas and other fluids but expect aftermarket brakes to perform with cheap brake fluid. I would not hesitate to put Aerospce brakes on anything.

Aerospace front and rear, hard to beat.
