For comparison's sake, Wilwood makes a rear 10.75" disc kit for the '68 Firebird for $618.99 and 11" fronts for a little over $700...this for a car that weighs in the 3400 lb territory so you know there has to be more of everything to make it live under heavy duty. Aerospace Components has a rear kit for $575, front for $650 and the rotor/caliper size on both require 15" or larger rims for the 'Bird. Again, it would seem like a kit for a 2500 lb. RX-7 would be cheaper, somehow. Neither of these cars is a high volume unit seen on the roads these days...
Although the firebird isn't a high volume unit now, I'm sure Wilwood put their research down on that kit a long time ago when it was a higher volume unit, and now are just reaping the benifits.
Of course if Wilwood made a kit for our cars, they could sell it for alot less than these people, who have to purchase the parts to make the kits.
