disc brakes
 

I have a 67 Camaro with drum front brakes. I want to know what brand of disc brakes would be a good choice for this particular car.

thanks Corey

you'll get answers all over the board, and you'll hear good and bad about all. We sell aerospace, wildwood, strange, and the limited applications moser has available. We sell more aerospace than anything. Some people don't like the aerospace, but we don't have a lot of issues with them, and when there has been an issue, they've always taken care of it.

I have aerospace on my car on all 4 corners. They work real good. The install was easy. The only issue was a few of the holes needed the threads chased. Other than that the fit was good. You wont believe the difference in braking with the discs. I think the fronts were a 15 lbs per side weight savings.

we've got em on both cars and no problems either way

Re: disc brakes
 

I have heard people bad mouth Aerospace. Had them on mine for over six years with no problems. Light, easy to install, don't drag, and stops great. Also have F.J.Smith's manual brake conversion. All works very well.
Not sure what more expensive brakes would do better.

Aerospace on all four corners of our '67...can stall it to the moon on any surface and it won't move.

Anyone know how to get the Wilwood front discs to quit dragging?

Re: disc brakes
 

Bobby - When you fully retracted the pistons and first put the calipers/pads on the rotors did it require any effort? I've found some brake pads have just too much material/thickness when new to allow any clearance.

Re: disc brakes
 

It took a little effort to get them in. I figured it would wear down once I got some time on them but it still continues to drag after 2 seasons now. Though I haven't been racing much over the last couple of years.

Re: disc brakes
 

One thing you might try is loosen the m/c from the firewall to see if the rod is fully retracting...with the fronts off the floor you can spin the wheels to see if there is any improvement. Using an aftermarket m/c and/or a lengthened brake rod? I recently had to remove the front pads on my partner's '66 Nova and take a DA sander with 80 grit to them to alleviate the same problem.

It's for a 1969 Nova with a 396/350
Stock master cylinder.

Re: disc brakes
 

Take them off and grind them down a little. Costs nothing to try and it worked for my buddy's Nova.

Re: disc brakes
 

Small GM transmission spring in between the pads held in with the willwood cotter pin. No more drag

Re: disc brakes
 

For those not wanting to use a Mopar Master Cylinder, NAPA part number M2456 is a "Lightweight" Master cylinder that is a bolt in replacement for the heavier cast iron version.
