brake parts....
« on: February 25, 2015 - 01:37:56 PM »
Now that I have the front suspension parts coming.  I need to decide on brakes.  Would like to run 15" factory wheels so Wilwood and those types are out.   Anyone else make a rotor and caliper package?   Probably going to leave the rear brake drum... :dunno:

DrDiff stage 2 kit, he sells the disc spindles if you don't have them.

Cass (DrDiff) is a real nice guy.  Excellent support - he's quickly answered my late night emails.

Or you can source your own, see the MA disc-o-tech article

There's also SSBC, probably a few others I'm forgetting.

I used the 1st gen Viper Calipers on new c body discs and used the 76 a body drum spindles with Dr Diff adapter kit. So what did it cost - $140 discs, $240ish Dr diff kit, $250 for viper Calipers and new pads.

I wanted to keep my 15"s too.... So I did SSBC.   Been on a few years already with no issues. And believe me when I say they been "tested" on occasion.  :working:  :thumbsup:
