RE: [Chrysler300] Front brakes

Hi John

 

Jay Leno had Wilwood fit 4 wheel discs to his 1958 Imperial.  There is a good discussion of the conversion on his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rwur6xqYcM

 

Maybe a club member in the area could take on a project and talk to Wilwood and see what they can do.  I assume you would need deep pockets to pay for their work but some may be willing to pay for peace of mind.

 

Regards

 

Henry

Hi ,
I know this has gone around a few times , but wondering on paper if anyone has put larger brakes than the AAJ kit ( which I —And many others — have used) on an F , orG/H , which might be allowed by going larger than 14” wheels — on say 57-60 ?
16 “ not out of question if larger discs might fit somehow .? 
While the AAJ kit works fine , the stopping ability in terms of deceleration is about the same as the 300 drums imho , ( the first stop) but probably a lot less hassle to most daily drivers . So great for what it is. 
But if you drive a recent car , it is another whole world . A friend has a magnum RT wagon , discs must be 14” across . It really stops . 300 were great in the day — but much better out there now . 
Thoughts welcome . 
Prompted too by a rear end crash in my dart , I almost escaped , by a foot or so — while literally standing on brake pedal .= 9 or 10” drums don’t cut it either . 
Watch out for 17 yo kids suddenly making left turns on undivided 4 lanes , a car ahead , guy / girl in front of you messing with cell . It can happen to you .
