Drum to disk brake conversion

novassdude · 05-15-2019, 02:51 PM

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

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

I like the Strange products.

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.
