Which lightweight brakes, strange or wilwood? Is there much difference?
The wilwood is $100 cheaper than the strange kit for the front. Is there much difference?
Which one?
Thanks

Both are reputable companies. That being said I never go cheaper on parts, they cost more for a reason in most cases.

I won't use wilwood. Nothing wrong with their functions; they work great. We've had too many issues on fitment with different wheels. ( I should add these were always rear related with beadlocks. Lot's of extra machining.)

I have the Wilwood "DynaLite" brakes on my Torino. Nice stuff, it has the slotted and drilled rotors, and lightweight aluminum hubs. Never any fitment issues, but always double check everything.
Aerospace Components also has bad ass lightweight brakes too.

I prefer the Strange brakes over the Wilwood. I have Aerospace on the rear, Strange on the front, and have had no issues after almost 20 years. I have had to rebuild both during that time, but I believe it was a moisture issue not a problem with the parts themselves.
