  • Aerospace brakes, or strange?

    looking to upgrade the front brakes on my mustang, which is the best way to go. Aerospace or strange, how much weight will i save, and how much e/t is expected to pick up from less rotational mass?


    thanks

    Minimal gains with doing just the fronts unless you have a problem with the front brakes dragging. I would address the junk rear drums before thinking about the fronts.

              I have Aerospace on two cars, they work, but quality wise, the Strange are nicer.

                I have stock front, strange rear at 138 had no problems"yet". Putting a chute on soon.

                Those strange rears were so easy to put on BTW

                    Go with the Strange over the Aerospace. I have pulled numerous Aerospace brakes off cars. They are bad about warping rotors and calipers sticking and wearing out the aluminum. Real expensive to rebuild, if they can rebuild them. I will never put a set of Aerospace on a car I own again.

                        ^^^ This, every word. After about 2-3 months of use on our shop car, the rotors are warped and hot spotted like crazy.

                        The 3 sets I have installed the past 2 years, fitment was fucking terrible, had to send parts back 2-3 times on each car to get the hats, or brackets machined to fit. Not to mention their customer service is terrible and the guys there are total ass hats. Not saying their product doesnt work once you finally get it to fit, but the maintenance is to much.
