What are my options to use a different/drag front brake set up? Is there a cheaper option than the lamb?


Also any pics would be great

 

Hey Mike, there's plenty of options

And I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
Depends on how much you wanna spend.

 

Yeah, I found all of those....I am thinking the aerospace will do what I need.

Chris did you change yours over? If so does it come with a spindle/rotor and brgs.?

All the info I have found on the aerospace is pretty generic and does not say what is included

 

I have the Mark Williams, My brother the Aerospace

All of the kits I have scene, you use your factory spindles, but you have to modify them by cutting the ears off

But the kits should come with calipers, mounts, rotors, bearing,seals

 

o.k. thats what I wanted to know

 

I use Aerospace front brakes. Everything is included except the spindles, bearing washers, nuts and cotter pins and the brake lines. Converting to steel braid brake lines needs the lines and a couple of fittings since the lines need AN fittings. Here's the Aerospace installation instructions.

You have to cut the old caliper mount ears off the spindle and drill and retap the dust shield mount holes. The kit is pretty easy after that. The aluminum hub and rotor that comes with the kit allows you to use the GM 4-3/4" bolt circle or if you get a good deal on some Ford rims, you can use the 4-1/2" bolt circle.

I don't use a residual check valve. When you jack the front end up on my car, the wheels spin with no drag.

 

I used to use the Aerospace on my '94, but for some reason the rotors would grind on the calipers. Got tired of it and swapped in a spare set of LS1 setup which included the spindles.

I think my bearings were going out which caused the rotor to touch the calipers. With the car jacked up and wheels off everything was centered. So that's why I think it's the bearings.

Would anybody agree with my thinking?
