need your opinion on brakes for my 67

I'll be running 18's on my truck im thinking of either 12 inch rotors and the d52's from wilwood or the 13 inch big brakes from cpp. I'm not to familiar with the cpp brakes but the price sounds good I no that wilwood has a great product. The rotors will be zinc plated. Do you think their is that big of diff in the 13 over the 12's Im going to run the modular spindle

Re: need your opinion on brakes for my 67

I dont think it really matters functionally however it might matter cosmetically.

If you have rims which are very open and people will be able to see the rotors easily I would go with as big as you can fit. If the rim is closed then go with whatever you feel like.

I dont like the look of a tiny little rotor behind a huge open rim that is why I say go as big as you can if you have this kind of rim.
