Disc Brake Swap Rotor 11 or 11.75?
- Thread starter mrmolding
- Start date
Update: Shakedown issues yesterday but today out on the road and it stops MUCH better than front drums. It literally feels like a barely touch brake older 80s luxury car. Not like modern discs but how I remember cars of that era. Very much worth the effort.
What I’m not too thrilled about is the hellwig sway bar I put on as well. A little too harsh but does handle much better than stock bar. Maybe I’ll let a little air out of the tires.
Thanks everyone!

What shocks are you using?
Bilstein four years ago. I rebuilt the front end as well at the time and put in Hemi spec torsion bars I got from Classic. Reman power stock steering pump as well. It was all great for cruising and felt like a really good upgrade to stock. But the recent Hellwig sway bar has made it more tight and feels bumps in the road more harshly. Anyway, it's all great but less spongy than I'd gotten used to. I'm not a steering expert but I know what I like.
I love the brake upgrade but probably don't need the benefit of the Hellwig for around town driving. Going to let a little air out of the tires and see how it goes.JR_Charger

Hmm, I may put a Helwig on - I've never heard of anyone complain about ride quality with Bilsteins. Usually the opposite. So that's not great news.
So bilsteins have been great. Things got fairly stiff with the hellwig. I also have poly in lca bushings and heavier torsion bars.
