Got a set of MCP brakes that work pretty good, but looking for something a little heavier for my B/P. Any suggestions?
-
Spend the money and get fronts.
MCP's are good brakes
-
A lot of my buddies are runnin wilwood calipers on the back
-
Are they running fronts?

TRIPPLE DITTO!

Yes they're running hegar fronts
-
Get a set of MCP fronts. They are awesome. Big rotors.
Get a bigger rotor for your back rear brake. That will make a bigger difference
-
I can get hegars for cheaper than mcps
-
MCP's are better.
I have BTS on the front of my BP and they are very similar to the hegars and I'm not a fan. To small of rotors. I have the MCP's on my FXT and they will slide the hoosiers no problem.

The MCP Front kit runs around $500-ish...APS&K, BMI,(& Others) or direct from MCP.
# MCP 4568 - Comes complete with Big 6" Discs Rotors, Calipers, Adjustable Hubs, Lines, Oil & weld on caliper mount.
Does not include the master cyl. I use the MCP750B or R(Red) Billet. $65.00 to $75.00 -ish
MCP300 Hand operated remote Front Bias Adjuster Control is a good addition. $50.00-ish
I have them on three racers. They work great.
I also tried the Brembo Floating front disc brakes, they work well to, but expensive.
-
The MCP won't fit on an Ec axle though will they?
-
Yes Tony they will I have used them
-
George what do run for rear brakes?
-
I suggest a 10in rotor with a wildwood caliper. 3/16 thickness I have this on my GP More then enough.
-
I always ran MCP rear brakes with a 12" rotor and Hegar or EC front brakes on my BP My super mods I run MCP rears but changing to a 8" shifter kart vented disk and presently EC fronts, but I am changing the fronts though gonna try something different not because they dont work just wanna try something else. But Jakes twin has the same and he is staying with the EC fronts
-
For me I'm going yet another route if I can sell either my bts fronts or my ec/hegar hybrids. I'm going to go with the hegar aircraft brakes. They are easy to mount where the mcp's suck to mount. And they have bigger rotors. Paul my hegars will just shy of lock up my fronts.
-
I have Hegar fronts and can stop really easy. I also do not like he big rotor on the back, it causes the rear to lock up which I don't like. I put lots of pressure on my front brakes and they work great.

Alright. Thanks guys for the help.
