I have the 4 piston Kelsey Hayes disk brakes on a small bolt pattern 1970 Duster.. This last weekend at the track, the brakes were marginal at best when trying to stop the 3100 lb car at close to 130 mph..

I guess I have a few questions... with the first being are the Kelsey Hayes really that bad to where I had to put some serious muscle behind getting the car slowed down..

And the second question is.. Is there an affordable place to get an upgraded brake setup?

I've done some pricing around and I believe to upgrade to the larger ball joint, tubular uppers, new spindle, rotors, bearings, disks and of course new wheels.. I'm looking at spending well over $2000.. and I'm not so sure I want to dish out that kinda coin with Christmas being next week..

So.. is there an alternative? I'm open to all suggestions..
