cuda front disc conversion
« on: September 17, 2013 - 05:33:10 PM »
Trying to buy a kit for switching from manual brakes to front power assisted discs.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a kit to use?  I've found a few but am hesitant to order just the cheapest conversion kit

I got the Summit Racing ones for my Challenger. Not the fancy stuff but they are perfect for me. I changed from manual to power disc up front. Haven't tested them yet. It's still up on the lift.

Do you want OEM or aftermarket look?
Brake boosters are the main issue. They are unique.

I'd like to stay with an OEM look.  I'm doing a driver, but my car's numbers matching and I dont wanna stray too far from a stock look.  I'm buying correct stuff but I dont need full on perfect date coded resto stuff.

Looks like i'll go with the roseville stuff.  Thanks guys!

Actually i'm going to need all the stuff in the first suggestion you had.  does that stuff not look factory?    I think if its close or generally acceptable as an upgrade  thats what i'll go with.
