I am using Wilwoods on front and rear, and I would buy them again. Mark

I have Wilwoods on my race car front and back, very happy with them. Both kits were bought used from Moparts members. I had a little trouble with the rears and had to shim them, so check the axle standout for your application.
Better get inside Ma. Looks like a storm's comin'.

I know you didn't mention Strange but just put them in the front of the 64 Polara on 73 A body spindles. Parts were all well packaged and looked great. Install went well. Took 49 lbs off over the big rotors, calipers and caliper brackets. Stops pretty dog gone good. Worked great today in Vegas
I just noticed the Strange brake kits when looking on Dr Diff's website. I'm looking to improve the brake performance as well as lose some weight off my car. Currently it is 3760# as raced, so any weight reduction is welcomed. The Strange brakes seem a bit cheaper, I wonder how they would work on a have-ish race only car?

Mine is 3740 with me and runs 10.30s & 129 in decent air. I have some street miles on them too. Noticably less drag when rotating wheel over the stock setup I had. Im pretty happy with them so far.

I've got aerospace on all 4 corners of a drag car and have had no issues.
I really haven't heard anything bad about any of the offerings.
unions....the folks who brought you the weekend!

The reduction in drag is pretty apparent with any of the aftermarket kits. With my frontend in the air you can grab a wheel and it spins forever!
