I have a '27 "T" Roadster with Anglia spindles that use single piston Wilwood front brakes. I would like to change to a two piston caliper but keep the rotors. I just need to improve the stopping capability and am looking for feedback from folks using two piston calipers. What brand are you using, and how were the results? Thanks: Bob | ||

A light car with small front tires is not a good match for doing that IMHO The rear brakes are where you want more stopping power.... Improve your brakes at the back or add a second system with a hand brake.....allows you to use it when you want to and not all the time... I had dual brakes in my dragster with the separate hand brake and used them both Yes I know it's a lot more to add that option but well worth it.... OR add a second set of rear calipers run off your existing foot pedal... You might need to change the master cylinder but that's an easier option overall..... | |||

I'd also recommend dual rear calipers vs more front stopping power. I put them in for safety when my kids started driving my dragster. It stops extremely well alternating foot to hand brake and using it becomes natural if there is ever a brake failure. Before doing all of that id get a brake pressure gauge and check the pressure at the calipers. Pretty sure Mark Williams had a good write up on brake pressure. Denis LeBlanc | |||
