My '70 Goat has the factory power front disk brakes.
I hereby predict that I will need to stop faster soon ;)
I've heard about various caliper, pad and rotor upgrades that supposedly increase stopping power. Anybody have any experience with making their factory front disc brakes perform better? I have scoped out posts on PY and elsewhere about a dual piston caliper, including one from Howe that's originally designed for circle track applications but supposedly can easily be made to work on A bodies. I am pretty set on sticking with my stock spindles.
I'm also adding rear disc brakes (which I believe I have mostly figured out...at least in the creative attic of my mind ;))
I suspect, though, that I may benefit from a different master cylinder, one with, at the very least, more capacity to "feed"
the rears.
Any suggestions are mighty appreciated.
Thanks!
