Hi everyone i have a daimler v8 1965 and was hoping someone could help me decide what brakes i should have on the front of the car i.e. upgrade to fooseway performance brake kit with vented brakes or to stick to original brakes and have them reconditioned or is there anything else that you suggest. at the moment i have all the suspension off the car. any help would be appreciated, also would i need to change rear brakes as well.

 

xjs hubs have vented discs and bigger callipers,
up right will fit,

 

We can give you many options on brake selection, but what do you want from the car?


No point fitting upgraded brakes that require engineering and modifications if its just a Sunday driver around town, and no point staying with refreshed standard equipment if you plan on tracking the car.

 

There are Wilwood 4 piston better quality brake kits for these sedans that work very well as I have made that upgrade on my 3.8S. These vented brakes give me very good braking even with my upgraded 450-460 HP. To me I think this upgrade is well worth it.


As for other options that really depends on if you are building this to sell it or keep it, etc. I have made extensive performance upgrades so if you want input on that just let me know.
