Are you still farting around with this decision? Poop or get off the pot already. Go get yourself on the SSBC group buy in general discussion and pull the trigger. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,6455.0.html

Well Ive decided  to go with Wilwood. SSBC seems nice but you get bigger brakes (rotors/calipers) with Wilwood for about same price if not cheaper. Guy on ebay can get me a deal, $999.99 for 11.75" with dyanlites

some of the Wilwoods are not vented & are far to light for street use , basically designed for 1 hard stop evry 2 hrs or so [drag racing ]

There is a guy with a 68 coronet that lives 2 blocks down the street from me.  He did SSBC for the front and said the directions were great, and all the parts fit perfectly.  He decided to go with Wilwood for the rear, and told me that installing them was nothing short of a pain in the ass. The instructions were crap, and the only useful information they had was not to use them on the street.

Personally, I'll be using SSBC front and rear. :Twocents:

:iagree:    I've heard nothing but good things about the SSBC kits. I'm looking forward to installing my front & rear Force10 kits. Directions look super-simple. Quality of the parts looks very nice, too.
