    Original discbrake
    « on: February 07, 2008 - 10:29:18 AM »

     right on if you have original discbrakesystem and original brakebooster - mastercylinder?  :clueless:

    I don't know if they will bolt on or not, but if you are just missing those parts, you can purchase them new from places like Kragens (www.cskauto.com) and other parts stores.

    Most disc brake kits are direct bolt ons. Even things like 13" rotors or the Wilwood and Viper kits all bolt on. There are even a number of rear disc kits that bolt together. Even if you are changing the original disc or doing a drum conversion, all the parts bolt on. If you have disc brake currently and want to upgrade to 11.75" or 13" kits, they still bolt on. Even the racing style aluminum hub kits with seperate rotors all bolt on.

     that's good news. Bought new brakebooster and mastercylinder a while ago, do you think they will work with a SSBC kit? :clueless:

    No reason why they wouldn't.

    be care ful because wilwood has 2 hubs and one is smaller than the axle hub and one is to big , i put the big one on since it cleared and resulted in a bad vibration , because the hub wasnt centered on the axle , i purchased the shaller one and had to have it machined to fit , and solved a problem i created simply by installing new disc brakes in the rear :2thumbs:
