Going from 10x2.5 to race disc anybody have #s?

---

Are you a foot braker... drums have a better holding
ability over disc... but the disc have better stopping
ability

---

Yes foot brk . Just wondering worth the 550.00 or not for me as far as weight an ET.

---

Depending on how high you rev at the line the disc
MIGHT not hold.... on my Rampage I put drums on the
rear just because I will foot brake it(no trans brakes
allowed in the class I want to run)

I had 11 inch drums on my 8 3/4, I switched to Wilwood discs , I weighed everything and came up with a 50 lb savings in weight. I have Wilwoods on the front also , I leave at 2,500 and have left as high as 3,000 and it holds fine on the line.

I have the 10in anybody know the diff in weight.

Im thinking about 12# each if I remember right. So Your not going to see that 50# loss.

So you might see 30#, You will need to decide if thats worth $550 bucs to you. Your car is already a light weight, you wont see much ET gain at a 30# loss.

But lets say you need pads,drums and maybe some slave cyl,s and stuff. Financially that would make alot of sense to swap at this time.

For A ET gain alone, not worth it IMO

But you do have a SB. So "You guys" need all the help you can.

Sorry to hijack this thread but i've been thinking of wilwood rear brakes, or swapping my 62# odyssey battery for a 21# braile. Can i counteract the reduction in weight from the rear by softening the extension ?
I run afco DA shocks with leaf springs.

Weight loss is weight loss. Some places are better than others, but like women, it's all good.
