Disc brake conversion (70 Dart)
Ya ok if you say so:eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::rofl::rofl:
See, here's the best part.
I don't say so. The
math says so, based on specs provided by Wilwood and Mopar. Braking force is just physics and math, and based on the numbers from Wilwood, the Wilwood brake kits you can get for A-bodies that fit 15" rims aren't better than the 73+ Mopar disks at generating brake force. The '73 Mopar brakes have more piston area, more pad area, and just as much rotor diameter.
Are the Wilwood brakes shinier, fancier, few pounds lighter, sure. But you're just spending more money for something that doesn't actually create more braking force than the '73 Mopar brakes do. And isn't that what brakes are supposed to do? Create more braking force?
Now, if you think I've done the math wrong or used the wrong numbers, by all means lets see the right info. Let's see the proof. But the endless "Wilwood is better than everything factory" isn't going to cut it, you have to come up with evidence now.
