My Toxic '74 Duster
Off topic but
@72bluNblu why the opposition to Wilwood? I’ve used them and been very happy with them.
They're just really expensive for what they are. Maybe 20 years ago their 4 piston calipers were impressive, but they're still just using the same basic design and trading on their name brand.
Also not a fan of safety wiring my hubs and rotors together, or their ridiculously large hub diameter on the Mopar kits that makes even aftermarket wheel selection troublesome. Seriously look at the hub diameter, it's 3.1" now. Even the factory hubs can be an issue for wheel center bore clearance at 2.7". Plus I pulled a set of Wilwoods of a buddy's car recently. Now granted, that car had been sitting for a little bit before he bought it (a couple years at most), but the brakes were a chunky corroded mess. Calipers were junk, pistons frozen, toast.
Plus, it's all aftermarket. Wilwood probably won't go away any time soon, but all the replacement and wearing parts do come from them.
So I like getting stuff from DoctorDiff. Sure the hubs and caliper brackets are aftermarket, but the rotors, pads, calipers, etc are factory parts you can get almost anywhere. And there's even a workaround for the hubs. There's also a guy at Invincible Extremes Muscle Car Garage that makes brackets for the GT500 calipers for 14" and 15" rotors. So lots of options now, more than what Wilwood provides. And if I was gonna go fully aftermarket I'd probably go with Baer, at least you're getting something more for the crazy price.
