i guess with Wilwood brakes, unless you get up into the 4 piston calipers with big, thick rotors, they are not very good for a street-type setup. most of their drag race/show car type setups are just too small to be effective in situations where you do a lot of hard stopping. i don't know about the setups you listed- as i am too lazy to go looking- but Baer setups (or copies of Baer setups using GM parts) seem to be the way to go 'round these parts. you can make your own "Baer" brake setup using Vette or Camaro parts from any parts store or GM dealer for half the price of a kit, and get the same brakes plus the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself.

David, I could not find the part number for the rear on wilwood's site. What is the rear rotor diameter on that set? I think all of the rear with the parking brakes are 11.9o"x.81". If that is the case than I would not use the front kit you have listed as it uses 10.75"x.81 rotors. Too small and too thin for front brakes at that weight of a car. The rears will work. You can get the 11.90" diameter front kit though. Still the .81 thickness on that rotor is a bit thin for my liking, for the front.

As for fitment on your 15" wheels, the short answer is I do not know. It should, but you can give Wilwood a call and the will give you a better answer on that.

I have the rear with the parking brake on my 67 and am impressed with the build. I went with the 6 piston fronts though.

Remember, cheap brakes can kill you. Baer puts together an great product. More cash than Wilwood. It is way easier to make a car go fast than stop proporly. When I mash on the binders, I want it to be solid with no worries. Wilwood did have some issues with the earlier kits with the 10.75" rotor. It is just not enough rotor for hard driving. If you are building a trailer queen then the smaller one will work.

how much would a bolt on 4 wheel disc from baer cost??? any other good street application company for a guy who would like not to wreck his ride?

There is a Baer group purchase going on right now. Check out the post in this fourm.

would the 12.19 rotors be enough?

68rally, it should. How do you plan on driving it? Is it a driver only, drag, autocross? 12" is a lot of rotor. I only went with the larger because I plan on to autocross my car. It is getting the whole pro-touring treatment. You still may have fitment issues with you 15" rims though. I am not an expert, but will gladly help with what I know.

its gonna be a street car... my buddy works at skip barber over at laguna seca in monteray so it might hit the track a few times but not much...i am waiting for a response on the baer group purchase thing....thanks for ur help you have got me convinced on throwing the extra money just so when the wall of traffic appears around the bend on the freeway i wont be on splattered on someones bumper :D ! Anyways thanks again
