Marc I don't doubt what your saying, BUT
Car above as example is a drag set up, which tends
to be most of Dasilvas fox builds. We did have a conversation
and said brakes would cost more and I would have to go to 18" wheels.
Also on stock Spindals wilwood makes match set of front rear brakes, so much
easier to put together and set up, so makes good sense to advise,
That said they are 4 pot fronts and with stock spindals can't put 6 pots on fronts.
Also max rotors are 11" with 04 can go to 13"
Also engineer from Maximum was the other person besides Gerry who recommended
04 spindals, they desinged and build the suspension that will go on car and they don't
care about my costs, only best working set up. Other person that leaned to 95 cobra set up
is mix of both, brakes are enough and some cost savings.
For me, yes cost is a factor, but performance is number one. being .75" wider with bigger brakes
normally means wider track, better handling with better brakes, and yes it will cost more, so question becomes
how much do you gain for about a $1000 more in costs??
