Default Disc brake kits....

I`m looking for a complete aftermarket disc brake setup that has everything you need including master cylinder for a 69 camaro. What is everyone using and what brands sell complete kits? Any pro`s or con`s?

I`m running 17in wheels.

Thanks, Kurt

I got my complete setup from ECI, everything was matched and the car stops like you hit a brick wall.

if you currently have front drums you can do a conversion to 98-02 brakes all the way around and they all just bolt on

I put LS1 brakes on a 68 camaro. they require some machine work
The hubs get turned down so they fit the LS1 rotors,& you need
longer wheel studs. the spindle needs machining so the cal. bracket
sits flat. Spindle is very hard so you need carbide tooling.
I have a spare set of laser cut brackets.( For front only)

good luck Dale

I bought a kit complete booster, hoses, calipers, pads, master cycl, dsic, bearing, and w/ drop spinddles- $750. From McGauphy's. It would be even cheaper without the spindles(about 500). Very good kit. Also if you want a Baer kit OPG has em for under $1000 without booster.
