I think it’s more about heat and fade with bigger brakes. The way I understand they should be more consistent for auto cross.

May I ask what set of brakes you bought for the front and rear? If you would be so kind, would you send me the link? Thank you🙏🏻

This is the kit I used on the front. www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdFront?itemno=140-12836-DR&year=1980&make=Chevrolet&model=Camaro&option=Disc+Brake+Spindle The rear is going to depend on the bearing size of your 9" housing but they are WIlwood also.

@@flipflopsgarage Thank you. Your videos are great that we can see how you build it. In my opinion, it's a bit of a shame that you don't give more detailed specifications and maybe links to parts in the video description 🙏🏻 It would be very useful for me as a European studying it on the Internet. but that's my opinion, otherwise amazing work!

Are you talking about the pads? If so both should have the same amount of play.

@@Macnificent78_ The shims are used to center the pads not fill the gap. It could be that your setup may not need shims. What I did for mock up was to install the caliper without. I used dial calipers to measure the gap from pad to rotor on both pads. Then measured the shims and did the math to get the correct stack. For instance my drivers side took 2 shims on the caliper and the passenger side took 3. Hope this helps but if not let me know and I can make a quick video on how I did it.

It's an extended shank ball joint and is supposed to look like that. It does seat in the steering knuckle.

What brake kit did you use? Says set up for 79-81 camaro brakes, very surprised you'd have to cut if that's what you used.

If you use stock brakes it’s bolt on. If you go with something aftermarket you have to trim the spindles. They are already drilled and tapped for Wilwood kits if you go that route

It’s a Jaz 15 gallon cell. I’ve had it in there for years and not sure they still make it. I can get you dimensions if you need them.
