      Wilwood Dynalite Forged disc brake kit

      I just bought a’69 Chevelle and it has this set up.
      Also running a Hydro Boost set up that runs off the Power Steering pump.

      Am I going to be ok driving on the street or possibly some Autocross?
      Pedal feel and stopping power feel good,but the pads/rotor surface are pretty minimal??



      Would this be an easy upgrade to another Wilwood system better suited for my useable?

      My experience with them was not good.

      Fine for street use, but I burned up the fronts in 1 day of "spirited driving"

      The advantage of those is they can be used with 15" wheels if that is what you have.

      I would consider an upgrade.

      There are many Dynalite kits from Wilwood, at first I thought you were referring to what they have on their site listed as "superlite." I was going to say, no that's not enough.
      But after looking closer, it appears Dynalite is a 4 piston set up that should be just fine for street driving. Autocross maybe not the best choice.

      It is an easy thing to change but not cheap and when you increase your piston surface area you're going to also need to update to the properly sized master cylinder to make them work right as well.
