My dodge charger needs a complete brake setup and im thinking of using wilwood discs on the front and stock drums on the rear. Is anyone running this type of setup?
The only cars with power brakes that I had used the stock discs.....and all my drum cars were manual. My race cars were manual too even with the Wilwoods. Matter of fact, my old Road Runner stopped just as good with 11" drums as my Duster with the Wilwoods did and the Duster was 400 lbs lighter. The RR ran 126 and the Duster went 134 in the 1/4.Did u use the stock power booster and master cylinder?
68, are you wanting street or strip?
Drums heat up in stop and go traffic. Other than that there is nothing wrong with them. My daily driven 66 works just fine (very little traffic in Tulsa OK) with the stock manual drums. At this point my tires (225-75-14's) are the limiting factor in my stopping ability.
I also plan on upgrading rims, tires and brakes to accept more aggressive driving such as autoX or something like the silver state classic.
WHY? are you planning on driving more aggreily in tulsa? just asking
