Thread: Disc brakes for light weight early Ford?

Tweet

I used a Wilwood single piston set up on my T bucket after the Total Performance/Airheart system turned out to be crap (sorry guys, if yours works, OK, my Wilwood's were much better). I think you would have to spend some time with the Wilwood catalog as mine came from Speedway and what they offer now are not the same - but the rotor was 3/8 vs the Total 1/4, the brackets were much stronger (no flex), the calipers worked right without a rebuild - and they could actually be locked up if you really wanted to

I agree completely. I've been running the same thing on my T bucket for 9 years. The Total performance brakes are more expensive but now that Speedway owns TP maybe they are a little cheaper. I've been using Speedways Chevy spindle set up so that I am able to use their wilwood single piston brakes as a very inexpensive option.
