TBM's are an excellent option also. I'm a dealer for them and would be happy to help you out.

Those are nice brakes, do they have much of a selection for Mopars?

I have had Strange and Wilwood on the rear of my 68 and both did the job well. Front is a different issue. First kit was Wilwood street that converted the drum front spindle to disc and worked well when the car was street/strip. Strange stopped better but didn't release the caliper like expected. I currently have dropped all my pennies on Baer SS4 Staging Brakes and they look good but haven't had a full season on them yet.

Manual or Power? I gave up trying to get my 75 yo leg to go manual and am returning to power with a Leeds MC. The whole MC thing is a big pile of math. You need to know the number of pistons and area per caliper as well as the bore of the MC to correctly select a good caliper/MC combo. Look up how to choose a brake system for drag racing or master cylinder math on the net.

I put strange on the front of my 67 Mustang, and they are excellent. The only thing that may be an issue (they may have changed this since 2006) they use GM 4.75" bolt pattern so you need correct wheels.

This question comes along every now and then...
I think this really is about what you are willing to pay and maybe get someone else to endorse a cheaper alternative for those asking about this..
I don't think there is any argument about the ranking:
1 LAMB - No Comparison
2 M/W
3 Non
4 pick your choice

Mr. Clean, you pretty much nailed it. It always AMAZES me how racers will spend everything they can get their hands on for the BEST motor and trans/converter BUT they like to CHEAP out when it comes to their brake system. I also know what I would buy if I ever put my KID in a car …
