I am in the process of buying a stage 2 backhalf car(thanks tyson!)and need to get front and rear brakes for it. I was considering strange or willwoods. If you guys have experiences with either, or a recommendation, please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks guys, since this will be a track only monster, I'll need all the stopping power I can get. I'll give baer and wilwood a call to see what they can do for me.

I mean dragstrip, since this will be a twin turbo car. I think I will get the strange brakes, since they have the best deal going right now, and I've always liked their products. Thanks guys.
What deal exactly do they have going ?
Just wondering.
I have personally like the Aerospace kits. I run just the rears on my TSM car and they make a world of diffference with just the back. A cool thing with the Aerospace brakes is that you can run dual Calipers out back if desired.
I also did a set of fronts on a customers car and they were very light and easy to install.
Honestly louie, I was considering those too, just unsure if they would bolt right up to my stuff. I have gun drilled 40 spline strange axles, with the older style big ford ends. Any ideas on this?
I have heard a lot of good things about baer, but I think that lamb components is what I will go with, a little pricey compared to wilwoods or strange, but worth it in my humble opinion.
You just need somthin to stop you in a straight line on a nice day. From the sounds of it the car will never see rain or road grime. So a race brake is all that you need. I plan on driving mine as much as possible on the road. With the occasional track day and I want to try some SCCA events with it too.
Yeah, it will be a ken duttweiler monster, I will try to plant 1500+ with a backhalf car first, then convert to full tube. If I remember right, people have gone in the 7.60 range with backhalf gn's before, so this is my dream, and I'm going to give it a shot. What kind of a suspension setup are you running with your car?
