disc brake conversion questions

[barryv]

hi, i have a 72 barracuda that had disc brakes upgraded a few years ago. they came from a challenger. i can get another front disc brake setup from a 1976 fury. i believe they have larger rotors. can someone tell me if its worth getting the fury setup and putting them on my barracuda.thanks

thanks for the info. do you think its better for me to get the setup from the fury.thanks

As long as its a b body fury.  A C body won't be a bolt in

IF the price is good I would go for the larger discs , the reality is there is not a ton of difference int he braking though , probably drilled rotors would help more or something like the Viper caliper upgrade giving better brake pad choices

i can get the front set of brakes for alittle less than 100 bucks. i dont think the calipers are any good and i am not sure about the rotors. if i am not driving my car hard i  wonder if getting the larger rotor setup will be noticeable.thanks for the replies

As an option, you can re-build calipers yourself.
Really easy once you pop out the cup with compressed air.

Definitely better, will you notice the difference?  Probably not IMO.
