disc brake conversion / front end kit
« on: March 05, 2006 - 11:27:05 AM »
Hi, I just bough a 1970 barracuda.  My husband wants to put a disc brake conversion kit on it and re-do the front end.  Any advice where to get these items from? 

Thank You,

Heidi

I just was looking it to scarebird conversion. I have heard good things about them. Its about $105 for the plates, then you have to get 77 cordoba master cylinder, rotors, and calipers. They claim total price with napa parts about $350-400. I believe you can also us cuda calipers with the kit.  www.scarebird.com/  is the web address. Good luck!

www.musclecarexpress.com
www.performancesuspention.com sells both front end kits and brake kits
www.justsuspension.com for front end stuff
