New Howe Front Caliper

njk53 · 01-29-2011, 09:12 PM

I just saw a Howe brake caliper from Jeg's that is being advertised as a large caliper. Would that caliper be larger than a stock Chevelle caliper? What is the advantage?

Howe makes both early [big] and late model [ small metric] GM calipers primarly for circle track, but I've seen a few find their way to drag cars.
Good quality parts.
