Big Brakes!For track use, E.R.A. offers extra large front and rear brakes. Shown at the right is a 427SC with the optional vented rotors and Wilwood calipers. The standard optional configuration (which fits into the 15" pin-drive wheel and most bolt-on wheels) uses a Sierra/JFZ caliper (equivalent to the Wilwood Superlite series) and 12.2" directionally vented rotors.We have discontinued any optional brakes for the Jaguar-based suspension. Instead our optional outboard-braked rear suspension has 11.8" x .81" vented rotors as standard. | ![]() This car will use 17" wheels so we've modified our standard adapter to fit Wilwood calipers clamping 12.8" rotors. |
But don't assume that the stock brakes are "too small"! A 427SC with stock brakes won the 0-100mph-0 Hot Rod challenge with a time of 12.07 seconds! For prolonged extreme useage, though, the recovery time of the optional brakes is much less. | |
