Question 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.

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...

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


cheers
