Looking to buy from Disc Brake kit for a 71 Demon with the later control arms and spindles (73+).

Was looking at wilwood kits.....any comments or recommendations?

Wanting to get rid of the heavy OEM setup.

thanks.

You can put Wilwood calipers directly onto the stock rotors. That saves about 20lbs and you don't have to replace everything.

I put Wilwoods on the front of my 71 Demon (10" drum originally) and it made a huge difference in stopping power.I used the HD brake kit,and a Mopar M/Cyl from Rick Ehrenberg.Everything bolted up great and as mentioned stops very well.

I went with aerospace components and everything went together easy and is suppose to be slightly lighter than the wilwoods both kits would work well
