pro touring brakes?

[BOSSHEMI]

I am just about done with all the body work on my 68 RT Charger. The car goes to paint after I install the hotchkis suspension kit. I also order 2'' drop front spindles from FatMan. Car will be have 17" wheels up front and 18" out back. I am looking for the a good 4 wheel disc brake kit for this car. The goal is to drive the car alot and hard

Open to suggestions

Thanks

Stephen

Yep add drilled & slotted rotors, 4+ piston calipers to that it will be fine with any of those brands...

there is also adapters for the Viper calipers or the JFZ multi piston calipers

It all depends what you want the car to do or how it is to perform.

The higher end stuff typically is from Wilwood, Brembo, or Baer. The Viper-based kits are also very impressive. I for one am very happy with my Wilwood setup. During my research at the time, they were the only ones that offered a higher-end kit designed for use with factory drum spindles. Saved me some money having to track down used disc spindles, or having to buy expensive repros. Looks like you got the spindles covered, though. Depending on the kit, you'll need to run a 17" wheel minimum with their 6-piston setups. I think you can run a 15" with their 4-piston kits.

Master Power is based off mid-'70's Mopar stuff, uses factory-type parts. It is a "stock" type system. More than adequate performance for a typical street car. Just finished installing a MP kit, haven't road tested the car yet though.
SSBC is mostly adapted Ford-based stuff. Wasn't happy with their stuff at all.

Good luck!

thank you all for your advise. I went with the 6piston Wilwood kit. Now its time to get the the Procharger ordered and FAST fuel injection system. Goal is to be done by March...think I will be done in time

Thanks

What about using the Challenger SRT8 14" rotors and calipers?  I saw a post where someone made brackets that looked like a production item.....Tim

it is a little more involved than that - you would need to have a buddy who has access to a machine shop - someone has used the R/T brakes (smaller slider calipers) so you don't run into caliper / rim interference. If you run the SRT brembos you will need to have custom wheels made with greater caliper clearance. I am currently working on another solution

Find Dr. Diff on Moparts. I run the 14.4" rotors on my Daytona with '06 Viper calipers backed by a hydroboost. The brakes will send you through the windshield... custom kit and not cheap, but worth EVERY penny and Dr. Diffs (Cass Eslick's) stuff fits perfectly everytime. Just makes sure you're running at least 18" wheels to clear the rotor and caliper. I make it by 20mm....
