Anyone have any stopping test from when they switched from front drum brakes to say a mid quality wilwood/Baer set up. My Gto is running the 13" 6 piston setup and I was curious as to what to expect. I haven't driven car yet because it is being painted. Thank you

Front drum brakes to 6 piston will be great!
Hot Rod upgraded the brakes on Finnegan's El Camino and tested the improvements. http://www.hotrod.com/videos/hot-rod-garage-episode-4-wilwood-brakes-for-the-roadkill-el-camino-and-sand-casting-hot-rod-parts/
