Thanks,

I fought with Wilwoods for a couple years before throwing in the towel and ordering Lamb/brakes/spindles/struts. They were so pretty I wanted to sleep with them. 15 years later when we sold the car you could STILL spin the tire with over a minute of 'free wheeling". My first pass with Rodgers brakes, brake pedal, master cylinder set up I actually slid the tires after using what pedal pressure I had become used to with the Wilwoods. Those things are a real piece of engineering. It was worth it just for the ease on your back when pushing through the pits. Had to be careful on little grades as the car would roll into the ones close to you. We think the car was a hundreth or 2 faster, but how do you prove it......
