Front brakes

Postby Mike » 2006 Feb 03 Fri 1:31 pm

This is also on Rogers post (with changes), but I thought others might be interested.

I'm currently removing the Steel Tech brakes from my Conestoga and building my own front brake system. I'm using Wilwood 4 piston calipers (matches the rear) and the Avanti rotors from Stude International.

I'm building my own caliper brackets right now...or on weekends! I'm using the Avanti rotors rather than the big heavy late model Ford rotors that Turner and Steel Tech uses mostly for weight savings. It should remove about 15lbs from each pair of control arms and have better or at least as good a braking as I now have with the Steel Tech/Turner (GM caliper).
