I'm also looking for a decent set of brakes that fit the 15" Halibrands at the moment and would be interested in what others did.

When I was at a Kirkham Open House, a Shelby dealer was there discussing using Wilwood brakes on CSX4000 cars with one of the Kirkham brothers. It may have been Tom. In any case which ever brother it was, he thought that the standard Kirkham brakes were better than the 6 piston setup used on the billet car.
