I think either one would do the job,it really comes to price and the looks. I have Aerospace on mine and I am looking to upgrade the rear,I looked at both and it looks like I will go with Aerospace. I had wilwood calipers and called them to get the rest of the parts and they wanted more for brackets and rotors then I could buy a whole kit for so it will be Aerospace they were alittle cheaper and the coustumer service was way better.

Why limit yourself to those 2 companies.What is the usage going to be ,track only,,,,,street & strip???????? When I bought front dico's,I ended up with the std SSBC kit with 4 piston calipers for my mostly street driven 3800+ lb junk.

Do we have any aerospace dealers here at moparts?
It looks like wilwood doesnt offer a kit for 67-72 disc spindle. Only for 9 and 10" drum spindle. Sorry to highjack but does anyone know how much weight could be saved going from stock 4 piston discs to an aftermarket vented kit?

Lutz is "race" brakes non vented but it worked for him on drag week at 200 mph so it was good enough for me to buy! Also Larry Larson runs "race" brakes on the street also... Them guys have no problem and Larson even commented on a post when I asked about "race" brakes! Lots run them and yea with strange you lose weight for sure... Who am I to argue with them guys so I have them now front and rear. The main thing everyone seems to say is just don't constant brake them hard all the time. No problems for me but good luck with whatever you choose Mike Roth is a dealer on here for strange.

When I first got my old purple 69 Dart the front wheels stuck out too far and rubbed the fenders. I was told that it was because of the Wilwood disc brakes. I bought a different offset front wheel, skinnier front runner tire, and still had to trim the fender lip. I would avoid Wilwood for this reason, but there are ways around it such as a different front spindle I was told. Alot of guys run Wilwoods.

Sledge, have you street driven yours much since the install? How much of a weight savings up front over stock discs? how bout out back over drums?
