I just bought a set up for my 70 Skylark from Auto City Classic 763-444-5880 They have the best deal for the complete set up, $599 or $699 if you want a chrome master cylinder, booster & proportioning valve. The chrome looks great! I am very happy with them.
Booster, m/cylinder, calipers and brackets, spindles, rotors, hoses, bearings and seals, proportioning valve, and of course "the hardware kit". DW
Man Dennis is old old school , many of us did not want disc brakes cause they supposedly held the car back on the drag strip . Yes the drum brakes can work fine but the brakes are inferior to disc in wstopping distance ( safety concern) and harder to change and they have a tendance to pull to one side if not adjusted correctly , and they can fade when wet . Its not hard to see why disc is better . If however you are doing a concours resto stay with drums
My main reason for switching is that i wanted to lower the front end. So a couple of people suggested 2" drop spindles, because that's the proper way of droping your car. But of course nobody sales 2" drop spindles for drum brakes. So i figure i might as well get disc brakes and get the spindles to go w/ it. I already got 1-2" lowered springs, but that didnt give me the stance i was going for. Marvin
I understand but there is also the little thing called progress . Disc brakes are better and thats a fact . They do not fade like drums do when wet and they fade much less when hot . If they worked perfectly or even as good as disc I would imagine they would still make them. I of corse would not change a concours car . With the price coming down you can add after market brakes for around 600 . Some manufacturers even utilize the old drum spindles . I am considering bigger disc brakes on my car .
