'75 Duster B body front brake upgrade impressions wanted
I have a 1975 340 four speed Duster. I am currently running the factory 10.95" disc brakes. The master cylinder is the 15/16" manual system with metallic pads and ss front lines. Anyone with the B body 11.75" brakes on their A body car, please chime in. Any stopping distances recorded before/after the upgrade? Looking to shortening the stopping distance at a discount price on parts vs the Wilwood systems. Leaning towards the Dr. Diff stage 2 system. Hesitant that the discs are "drop Shipped" from a supplier.
I am not racing this car. It is a fun weekend driver that I would like to have shorter stopping distances. The car has been lightened somewhat. It had the heavy front and rear bumpers (5 mph) removed and replaced with glass front, and a '73 bumper rear. That saved nearly 50-60 pounds on the ends of the car. The car has the factory anti-sway bar up front, and weld-in frame connectors. The 1.03" torsion bars have been installed replacing the 45 y.o. .867" bars. Wheels are 17" with BFG G-Force tires. Suggestions please.
