    I am looking for a conversion kit for my 1970 GS and came across this
    http://www.scarebird.com/12802/14301.html

    They use your existing spindles lines and such.. Anybody check these out yet? It would probably only cost me 225.00 total to convert to disc.. :idea2:

    What are your thoughts... They are on Ebay also with really good feedback..:cool: Randy

    A guy on e-bay has a conversion kit that has spindles , caliper brackets and dust covers for $175 new . You supply rotors and calipers . His e-bay name is : 60to0brakesystems . Hope that helps

    Yep I saw all of those but I was looking for an easier way so I don't have to pull off the ball joints and I can use some of the existing pieces.. Thankyou

    Hi,
    Installed a set on my 64, they fit great, everything went together as promised, I think they were , 81 Citation calipers, 78 Monte Carlo rotors, 78 Caprice flex lines. But the bodys off the frame so I've not tried them out.

    The Scarebird brackets are quite popular with the Pontiac folks. You can find some info on them at www.performanceyears.com on the tech forums. Lots of people converting the big mid sixties Pontiacs to discs over there.
