Recommendations for 68 Camaro Wilwood setup

[bwarren]

Been a while, 3-4 years since I've been on pro-touring.com. I'm looking for recommendations for a Wilwood setup for my 68 Camaro. Right now I have stock front discs and stock drums in the rear. As I remember I have Hotchkiss tubular upper and lower control arms, QA1s, coil overs, Hotchkiss rear leafs, stock 12 bolt rear end, Tremec 5 speed. Like to upgrade to a Wilwood disc setup all around. Is there a "kit" available maybe I should be considering?? Any help and feedback would be appreciated!! Recommendations on where to buy would also be helpful. Thanx!

What's your intended use for the car? What size wheels are you running?

Casual cruising and occasional aggressive driving. Maybe an event here or ther in the future? Car handles awesome (compared to when I got it - suspension was completely stock). I have 17" wheels now. 12 bolt Chevy rearend (with c clips I think - not completely sure how to tell). Looking at th Wilwood site . . . what's the difference between staggered vs. front (or rear) mounted calipers??

C5 brakes front and rear, with a good set of pads and be done.

So the '68 and '69 F-body applications will have staggered shocks in stock form, with the drivers side shock being mounted trailing the rear axle and the passenger side being mounted leading. Due to the proximity to the housing ends, most brake kits will require a staggered installation in order to avoid interference between the shocks and the calipers on one side of the car...which one depends on whether you install the calipers leading or trailing.

For the front kit, I would lean towards the Wilwood Forged Narrow Superlite kit with one-piece rotors, 140-12271. As for the rear, ideally you could do a matching Superlite kit, however a smaller Dynalite kit would be a lower budget option. You could swap out the Dynalite calipers for the black powdercoated Dynapro calipers so that they'd better match the fronts from an aesthetic perspective.

You should also consider Kore 3. Tobin is a stand up guy, even so much as to answer your question and give you a recommendation for a competitors product. I am sure Wilwood products are great too, but you won't get better service after the purchase than Kore3. Since it seems budget is a consideration, take a look at the C5 products that Kore 3 offers: http://www.kore3.com/categories.php?cat=7

Tobin will get you exactly what you need for your application and when you have questions about the installation, he will answer those too.

Thanx everyone for the feedback. I have a MUCH better idea what I'm looking at. Sorry for the "dumb" question(s) of the day. I'll update the post once I get it figured out and make a purchase!
