Disc Brake Upgrade

[BIGSHCLUNK]

Carl , I did an entire post on this back when I did it. Last spring(ish?).  I will have to look through my paperwork to tell you what kit I used. I did upgrade to the slotted rotors. I was and still am running manual brakes. I'm running the stock mopar 15x6 wheels in the front. I would think you you could go get the manual kit. If you can adapt the master cyl to the hydro unit. BTW I personally feel the kit is inexpensive (not cheap!) compared to wildwood or bear. And the quality is A-1! PM me if you need more particulars, I'd be glad to help out.

I would give SSBC a call. They were very helpful with any questions and I am sure they can steer you in the right direction with the specifics of your application.

And I would never call the kit Cheap!!!! It went in perfect and is top quality!!!!

Hi Carl,I have Wilwood brakes on the front of my Challenger and find them to be a big improvment over stock discs,I weighed them on my bathroom scales and saved 34lb over standard,I bought 10.75s and then later found out(which is typical) you can upgrade to 11.75 that fit in 15inch rims,the company I found on ebay under wilwood brakes was www.hotrodsusa.com if you look at this site go to page 20 and you will get the story on mopar brakes.

Thanks everyone for your help and input, much appreciated.


I decided the best set up for my needs is the 11.75" Cordoba factory style "cop duty" disc brake kit. I talked to Dr Diff (Cass) and he's going to price me up a kit today. He said 11.75" is about is big as you can go with 15" rims. He said he'd put together a kit, good price too and more than ample braking for street needs, even mild track. So now I'll be running all Dr-Diff disc brakes, although he said the Cordobas aren't "his", being factory, still, same "supplier".

Keep us posted on what the kit cost and what it comes with please.
