Title: Re: [FWDLK] brake kits

Regarding the comparison of the AAJ to the SS Brakes conversions, I chose the SS Brakes because the final product gave me their oversized Mustang brakes rather than undersized Dart brakes. They use a stainless steel sleeved 4 piston caliper with slotted rotors. You can get the rotors dipped so that they don’t rust.
