ERA standard Camaro brakes - no "tick"?

[ERA Chas]

My solution to the Camaro brakes was to put larger Wilwoods on after I added 150HP.
Bob P. knows the fix for the noise.

More importantly Jeff-why cheaping-out on 11", single piston brakes when you've ordered a 'cyclotron' powerhouse motor with so much fuss??

Well, that's one way to deal with squeaky brakes. I've got to agree on the single piston/cyclotron statement. I think being able to slow down in these cars is more important than being able to speed up.

I like that Cyclotron description. I hope it revs better than one.

That's a great question. I've done a fair amount of work on this (also, see Standard or Wilwood brakes on an ERA?). I'm just not convinced that the braking or feel from the Wilwoods is better than the standard set-up for street driving. Several people have told me from experience that I wouldn't feel the difference unless I cycled through repeated hard stops at a track. I think ERA is no longer using the Wilwoods anyway, and now use Sierra or Coleman. Not that psyched on those. So if I've concluded there may be no real benefit for me, then I'll probably go with the Camaro brakes (or maybe SSBC calipers as an upgrade).
