I'm looking for a disc brake system for my '88 notch that will fit under my 15" draglites. I've talked to some vendors, but they mainly want me to buy their crap.

Any feedback? Anyone try the Baer S.S setup? Strange? Wilwood?

I heard Aerospace is somewhat good, but their "rotors" are somewhat thinner restricting hard street use. I'm not going to Autocross or road-race anytime soon.

I am asking this since I am going 31-spline and I want to convert to rear discs while its up. Looking to save some weight also.

Thanks in advance.

you're not going to find a lighter setup out back than the factory drums I don't think.

um no
pick up a wilwood or strange rear disc and it is about 1/2 the weight of a drum

not to steal the thread but do wilwood and strange keep the stock 4 lugs? and if so do you know any part numbers?

Looking in the Summit catalog, they seem to be only in 5 lug. The rear axles drag kits for the Strange and Wilwood look really thin, so basically for drag only. I'm looking for something that for light street use/drag use.

strange is the way to go.Much better than Wilwood or Aerospace!

I have some aerospace rears for sale. Also some Moser 33 spline axles. I'd be willing to sell both for 600. Very little use on either.
