Thread: My hot rod plans

Tweet

I've never run discs on any car I've had, and they all stop just fine. Discs are not perfect, my Son Don has Wilwoods on the front of his T and he has had fits trying to get them right. The first set threw brake dust all over the car and the rotors scored badly, so Speedway stepped up and sent him a different set. No more dust, but they squeal like mad. We've adjusted, shimmed, sanded the pads, etc, still no good. Lots of conversations with Wilwood and they don't even have an answer.

As for drums not stopping, we are talking about 2,000 pound cars here. One time I was driving my 27 and the light changed to red, so I hit the brakes. My Wife was following me in her new car with discs, abs, and all that stuff, and she almost redesigned my rear end. My 27 stopped way better than hers.
