    I installed Wilwoods all the way around and I'm very happy. But I don't have any direct experience with either brand you mentioned.

    I bought an MP Brakes front disc brake package for my Challenger.

    I had discs before the resto but I couldn't find a replacement spindle and decided an upgrade would save time and be more effective.

    Haven't used them as yet because of course, my Challenger is still in resto.  :)

    As far as I know master power sells SSBC brake kits. I installed one on my Demon and the kit is graet, It came with new Master cyl, prop, valve and was really complete. see at www.moparmagic.net on 71 Demon.

    Welcome to the board Green!  We also did an SSBC brake conversion. It was easy enough.  We've just bled the system and all seems to be going well.  We haven't started our engine yet, but it seems to be doing the job so far.

    Where did you get the brake setup from and was is a good price? I was watching this thread because I'm almost to that point of putting the rear-end back on but I wanted the disk setup first.

    These came direct from MP Brakes. Price with slotted & cross drilled rotors is about 800-900 usd.
