The kits from Strange or Moser which is the Wilwood I believe. are great choices, definitely run as fast as you can from the Aerospace stuff.

I have Aerospace brakes all the way around on mine. Fit great, don't drag, and stops very well. Been trouble free for five years. On what do you base a statement like that?

Glad you've had success, my first and last foray into Aerospace, not so good...kit ordered from them came with 2 different hubs, as in bearing races were like a half inch off, from one side to another, also while @ Indy 2006 the calipers , which were brand new, had problems,as in the inboard pistons would not retract enough to allow the pads to get off the rotors...after trips to midway ...while stockers are qualifying, I purchased new pads, and STRANGE calipers...which bolted up to the other guys brackets, bled brakes, pumped them up on jack stands, and to mine and Jim Hanigs amazement they released! And yes many attempts with washers were made to ensure the caliper was centered on the rotor...oh I made the qualifying hit...second to last pair...
Purchase what you'd like, believe me that's why STRANGE are on the Rear of my car!!! And the fronts have the same calipers from my ordeal(strange) with rotors, brackets , hardware from those other guys. They were cheaper at first.....but cost me more in the long run. I m sure this was an isolated incident, just a lack of Canadian know how on my part ....Right!!!!! ![]()

I also have aerospace on both my car and Andrew's. they have been great. Light, don't drag, stop great, and hold on the starting line. They are also not that expensive. If cost is no object Lamb brakes are the very best.

It's a lot easier to put early camaro/chevelle/nova spindles if your wanting to put aftermarket brakes on it, it's cleaner and a lighter and you don’t have to cut on the spindle. Aerospace brakes or Mark Williams always worked for me. I like the Aerospace because they are cheap enough you can just repace them instead of rebulid them. dont really like the pedal that the strange brakes have.

Will, what year Camaro works? Any other changes required/needed(tie rod ends, steering arms, etc.)?

I used some off of a 69 Chevelle but I'm pretty sure 64-72 chevelle, 67-69 camaro, 68-72 nova spindles are all the same mine were drum brake spindles. I had to put some washers on the ball joint under the nut because the spindle is not as thick. TRZ Motorsports is who told me to do it. If you look on maliburacing.com there are a lot of people doing the same thing. It didn't change the alignment enough on my car to worry about realigning it but I would check it anyways. MAKE SURE YOU ATLEAST CHECK THE TOE IN because that can make one fun to drive.

I prefer the Strange units over about anything else at the moment. Many horror stories on the aerospace products. We also have Wilwood parts in use on our stuff and have had for over 10 years.
