Brake Upgrade - Alcon, Brembo or Dilusi ???

[Brad Manhattan Beach]

Look seriously at Stop Tech brakes. They are the best solution for the money out there (and they deliver excellant performance without any compromise).

Their web site is at: http://www.stoptech.com

Good luck. Email me if I can be of further assistance.

I've got the Dilusi 6 piston front, 4 rear. I absolutely love them! Right now, I'm running a street pad on them from GreatBrakes.com . When I do the track events, I switch to a much harder compound pad. At the track events, I've never been able to make the brakes fade, and I've tried so I'll know the limits. I have a write up on my experience at my site.

Would also look at Sean Roe's brake packages, listed in his catalogue reached via "site sponsors" from this board's mainpage.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, Bob. Dave Buchesky (who engineered the factory brake system) was certainly no dummy. About the only place I've found shortcomings are with the front "heat sinks" and you have a well-engineered answer to that.

For time trials and aggressive track play, working with simple, inexpensive, pad compound and rotor combinations is all most folks (90%) need to concern themselves with. Be sure to run top-quality fluid - like AP600, SRF or Motul and check it with some frequency.

Still on stock rotors and playing with pads (1100F front, 800F rear)......

Interesting note about brake balancing.

Do they add a control so you can adjust the master cylinder to balance the bias between the front and the back?

I have converted my RT/10 to 4 wheel drum brakes from a late 70's A-body Mopar. Less rotating mass and has cut my ET's by almost three tenths of a second. It wasn't easy but with a hacksaw and a MIG welder, anyone can be a pro!

Oh man! Like from a Slant Six A-body? That is soooo trick. Did you drill lightening holes in the backing plates to reduce the weight even more? Could you get me a parts list together? I've GOT to have that too. And when you get an A-904 hooked up, I'll buy that too.....

Frank, you need to add the brake mods to your sig. How about some photos. Maybe a cookbook writeup, too?
