I'm looking at a bigger than normal brake swap that looks good and preforming better than what I currently run
The car is my el camino and I'm researching the swaps that are more common with this platform
So. With this research I have found two systems that appeal to me.
The first one is the willwood kits listed for the car
Running the 12.1 inch rotor and the common willwood caliper in red
I have been familiar with this kit from previous usage on other vehicles I own
The cost is middlebof the road and they fit my needs
Which include fitting on the vehicle using my current drop spindle. They will fit my current 17 inch wheel too
The second choice is the corvette c5 caliper
And rotor. I have searched and searched and have only found a few parts available
Items like caliper brackets. Calipers. Pads. Rotors. Hubs. Hoses. All of which appear to need to be purchased separately
That complicates things for me. The costs add up to just about 1k total
The cost on the willwood kit is a little bit less.
Can someone show me a reason why I should use the corvette swap over the willwood kits
I'm seriously leaning towards the willwood kit
It's also got a matching rear kit that's available
So I would have a matched set up front and back
