[Julian Kift]

There are certainly other options to Wilwood, I'm rebuilding my '74 with Coleman rotors and Sierra calipers.

> I just had the front rotors turned and new pads for The Beast and within 10 laps at Laguna I got a real bad vibration and noticed hot spots on the right front rotor, so I assume it's already been warped again. The steering column shakes so bad on hard braking it feels like it's ready to break loose.
> The rotors and calipers are from a 69 Boss 429.
> I'll be double checking to make sure the correct pads were used.
> Assuming they were I may be next looking for a different set-up, to handle the stopping requirements of track use.
> It's been suggested I convert to late model Corvette brakes, has anyone tried this?
> Are there other options, besides the Willwood packages?
