Did a little upgrading.
Old Fronts - Wilwood D52 Calipers, 11" stock style rotors New Fronts - TRSD Signature Calipers (based on PBR calipers which are the same as C5/Cobra brakes) w/13' Rotors Size comparison Replaced rears with the 12" package to complete the deal (EBC Red pads front & rear) There is no question, the front brakes feel much better than the old D52s. The Wilwoods look pretty but actually have less clamping force than the stock calipers. With the right pads and Hydroboost, they worked well enough but I needed a bit more bite for some road course track days I have planned. The rears are absolutely a better design, with a floating caliper. I was not a huge fan of the old ElDorado caliper setup that I had on the rear. The 13" rotors fill the wheel a bit better. Probably could have gone 14" but didn't want to push my luck

Also, photos were finally posted of the burnouts (on Facebook so I won't share the link.)
Here is one of the green beast melting the tires off! I forgot how much more expensive 18" tires are than 15" Drag radials.... Won't be doing that again.

I've already installed the exact same Wilwood kit on my Sprint. I was inquiring for a friend... One of the 1st items I changed. I couldn't believe after I bought the Sprint I noticed it was a drum brake car!!
