Reply to "looking for updraded front brakes (Wilwood)?"

Brake upgrades are one of the "slippery slope" mods hot-rodders always talk about. The simplest is- as was mentioned- using stock calipers and 0.810" thick stock solid rotors with dash-3 ss brake lines, high quality fluid and Porterfield R4-S pads. They will work fine on the street, for about 3-4 hard stops in rapid succession and will overheat on track rapidly.

Next is substituting same-thickness ventilated rotors and adding bigger rear calipers, with a manual proportioning valve to rebalance your braking. You already have a 'gutted' stock proportioning valve. The armored AN lines, Porterfield pads and high quality fluid remain in place. This system will be great for the street, fast mountain runs and even light open-track running but will still overheat if pushed too hard.

Last is adding big OD rotors in 1.25" thickness, which calls for big matching calipers both front & rear and some sort of adapted semi-street-legal e-brake system, with all the foregoing still in place. Because the big wide rotors and calipers (plus your current 17" wheels & tires) are much heavier than stock, you will also need high quality adjustable coil-over shocks and bigger, better built anti-swaybars, tweaked suspension settings and upgraded rear stub-axles... slippery slope, remember? This rig is semi-pro open-track-ready and approximates what was successfully used at LeMans in the '70s.

Left out of the previously suggested brake vendors is Larry Stock's Pantera Parts Connection in Carson City, who sells the above series of brakes as three grades of step-up-options. He also sells piece-parts for those who know what they want/need. Welcome to the Club!
