Re: After Market Front Brakes
I have them ( Willwood ) on my 3100 lb 66 nova. It don't run but 12.20;s @ 107 mph... Had them on for 2 years now with no issues. Will stop on a dime and give you ten cents in change.. I am very satisfied with mine .

Re: After Market Front Brakes
I am thinking I should not have a problem since the car turns 11.40's @ 115 mph as a bracket car. If I had a 135mph 3500lb car it would be a different story and the vented rotors would be necessary. Brake manufactures probably run a 2x safety factor on their math for liability reasons.
Thank you all for the replies. Chad |

Re: After Market Front Brakes
I run them (Aerospace) on the front (drums on the rear) of my 3500 lb. 10.35 @ 127 mph, '70 Olds, Cutlass. I say I am on the "ragged edge" with this set up. I will go with disc, on the rear next.

Re: After Market Front Brakes
Is there any differance in braking or holding power for foot braking with drilled versus undrilled rotors?

Re: After Market Front Brakes
I am curious as well if the drilled rotors are necessary for this type of application. I have asked Wilwood tech to get their opinion.
Anyone else have a good reason either way on whether to run drill rotors or solid? Thanks, Chad |

Re: After Market Front Brakes
It's my understanding that the drilled rotors let the gasses escape for better breaking.
I'm running a 3100 lb Nova with Wilwood on 4 corners (the thin ones) going on 7 or 8 years and have never had a problem, but I don't slam on the breaks at the finish line... |
