Avanti,

Here is my latest post about brakes. You may want to contact Bill Connelly. You did buy that car from him??? Send me an E-mail and I will give you all the part numbers but you will have to make your own caliper mounting brackets.
Guys,
I have the early type Jag front end on my early Contemporary 1986. I have just converted my front brakes for the fifth time. The first set was the solid Jag rotors with Jag Calipers. The second conversion was with Vented Jag Rotors. The third conversion was Wilwood Dynalite Calipers with 12.19 Wilwood rotors. The fourth conversion was to Wilwood Superlight Calipers still using the 12.19 Rotors. And now the most expensive and hopefully the final conversion 6 piston Superlight Calipers with another new set of 12.19 Rotors.

If you want great brakes you can skip all the brake setups I did and go right for the six piston Calipers the first time.

Of coure if you want to run larger than 15" wheels forget everything I said and go right for the 14" rotors and Big six piston calipers.

FYI the six piston Superlights cost $250.00 USD Each and the Rotors 43.00

Maybe this can save you some time and money.

Oh yea this is a track only car and I want the best brakes I can get for High Speed stops.

Good luck,Info here http://www.wilwood.com/
