Drum to disk brake conversion
 
I am ready to convert my car from all drums to all disk brakes. Any suggestions for a kit. I would prefer to get a kit that has everything so I know it is all set up to work together. Don't really want to experiment with brakes.

Thanks John
Its a 1970 Nova I/SA

I had great luck with Master Power Brake

They are friendly and knowledgeable.
you may want to consider upgrading your drum brakes

Strange makes front and rear kits that are light and work very well, Wilwood race brakes are good too. Just two suggestions.

What front Wilwood brakes are people with heavier cars using? The race ones I have found all top out at 2800 pounds.

Thanks John

I've got the strange ones on my Nova and one of our Oldsmobiles. Really like them.

Strange S series front and rear on my 3300 lb. Mustang. Stuck with a power MC and it stages and stops on a proverbial $0.10. Switched over from Wilwood street brakes.

When I converted my car from drums to disc brakes I used Aerospace. The brakes fit perfectly and worked perfectly too. No drag issues at all. Stopping power is way better than the drums ever were. also was about a 60 lb. weight reduction. Every bolt and nut came with the kit. The only thing I had to do was get the appropriate braided stainless lines to connect the calipers to my existing system.

I really like the Aerospace kit as well. Easy to install and as Mike said everything included in the kit and easy to follow instructions as well.
