      caliper shoot-out?

      I'd like to update my Fairlane's 4 wheel death drums to discs. The spindles are the same as
      the mustangs (and other intermediates) of the same vintage. I'm not interested in the truly
      exotic, just 13" front and 12" rear would be fine.

      [ignoring the whole issue of rotors, slotting, cross drilling, etc.]

      which front calipers do folks recommend?

      2 piston PBR (Baer, etc.)
      4 piston "extreme" SSBC
      4 piston Wilwood
      6 piston Wilwood
      JMC Motorsports (are they Wilwood calipers w/ custom rotors, ala Global West's mustang kits?)

      any appreciable difference in normal, albeit enthusiastic, street driving?



      I know lots of folks here run Baer, but I haven't seen any comparisons with other manufacturers.

      thanks in advance.

      I will be running the 6 piston wilwoods up front, but I can't comment on performance yet since I'm building the car now. I think that they should perform flawlessly, and people that I've spoken to with them seem to love them.
