I'm updating my front brakes on the Camaro. Our Aerospace Components front brakes are old & outdated. They were still stopping well but wanted to try the newer style brakes.

I was looking at the Strange Evolution 4 brakes & the TBMs. While the Strange brakes were cheaper by about $400. I decided to go with the TBMs below.

I hope so for the price! Should be an upgrade over the Aerospace Components brakes.

I really wanted the same brakes on all 4 corners to match but not going to happen. When I bought my Moser Fab 9" rear, I bought their brake kit installed; Moser doesn't sell front brake kits.

I guess I could spend more coin & put TBMs on the rear. I'm happy with the Moser rear brakes & they're not that old.

TBM are an excellent choice. Even MW is offering them now.

I want to update the stock OEM fronts on my 3rd gen with TBM when I can justify/ afford it. The stock front OEM single piston caliper I have now is the equivalent to the two piston TBM front model in piston area. My question is what determines the change to four piston front calipers from the two piston model?

I'm unsure but if I had to guess, vehicle weight.

Been running them for last 2 years - had to make my own mounting brackets because they did not offer them for the front of my vette. They are very nice and release instantly. Virtually zero drag.
