    Does it still have the non vented rotor setup? How big do you want to go? Just Glh style, l blown eleven inch big brakes from the later TII and tiii cars?

    I seen them . it says 84 to 90. I'm trying to find out what the difference is between 82 and 84+

    I see that rockauto has the caliper and bracket for the 83 shelby for $35 sounds like a good deal.

    I could be mistaken, but wasn't there an upgrade to a larger bearing around then? Something that was found during racing, along with going to the 5 lug wheels

    what I had to do to put bigger brakes on my 82 rampage. change the steering knuckle from 84 charger. change balljounts "much bigger but fits the 82 control arm" got calipers,brackets,rotors and brake pads for 83 dodge shelby charger from rockauto $160 to my door. now I can get a front end alignment and enjoy. side note the 83 1/2 shelby has the smaller ball joint but newer knuckle.
