Hi All, I am looking to do a Brake Kit on my 75 Maverick. I've looked into Willwood and Baer as options. I was wondering if there are advantages of one over the the other. Currently, the car has disc all the way around that the previous owner before the previous owner had installed. I have the stock 15" rims on there, but I'd be willing to kick them up an inch or 2 in order to fit a decent kit on there.
Just my opinion....but what you have now is fully effective for probably 99.9% of what the average driver uses a car for. Unless you are going to get into some serious road racing, then your brakes are fine. Now if you are going for "the look" of different brakes....that is a different story.
Hi Craig, I will admit it is more of a form over function situation. But I was thinking of doing the 4-pot calipers. I have no need for the 6-pot as I only have a 302. Unfortunately, I do not know if the fronts are the stock calipers and the rears are not drums. When it comes time to replace them (I would imagine sooner rather than later), I'm lost as to the size of the pads I would need. Is it possible an Autozone or O'Reilly's would know what I need?
If you don't have a application that can be entered into their computer, 99.99999% you'll get a deer in the headlights stare...
take a set of the pads with you, ask for 74 Maverick front pads. match them and see if they are the same...a place to start...
