Baer Brakes? vs. Wilwood? vs. Stock Ford Disks?
Baer Brakes? vs. Wilwood? vs. Stock Ford Disks?
Hey I'm doing a 5 lug conversion on my 1988 GT this winter. I'm looking into doing a full disk brake set-up on my car also. I was looking for some feedback on those who have done the same. What type of breaks would you guys suggest out of the three that I mentioned above in the title of this thread? I was also wondering how each of these brakes wear? Do they last as long or longer than the stock brakes? I'm just looking for the pros and cons I guess you can say. I realize that the cost will be much cheaper for me to go with the newer stock disk brakes off of a newer car. Plus it's easer to get the replacement parts if they are needed, by just going to our local Ford Dealership or parts store. Please submit a vote in the poll also thanks guys. |
Are you upgrading the front to 94+ spindles?
Use of car? |

I'm a big fan of Baer. It all depends on what you will be using the car for. If you're into road racing, go with the Baer or Willwood, otherwise, go with a nice set of slotted stock rotors and nice pads

Will the car see a road course at any point? Is this just for some peace of mind on the street?
Baer and Ford make some great kits... |
All 3 are good.
I like Wilwood. |

I mainly do street driving and it will see a bit of drag racing... in the 10's |

Both those aftermarkets will grip better then stock.. :tup

If you're mainly interested in street, and drag racing, then I'd suggest Wilwood, from a lightness point of view.
