I'd only like to hear from those who have chosen to convert their front brakes to disc by utilizing a "kit" that
uses the factory drum spindles already on the car from the factory.
- What brand/source did you choose to go with?
- Did you stick with manual or go whole hog for coverting to power at the same time?
- Did you replace the factory distribution block or go with a proportioning valve in the rear line - or even install
a factory type disc/drum distribution block?
- What size rotors did you go with?
- Most importantly - are you satisfied with the results? Are your brakes actually BETTER?
It's go or no go time for me to make the move and I just got my front end alignment checked; everything up front from a
steering point of view (including sway bar) is good to go, so obviously it would benefit me to go with a kit on the old spindles....
BUT....
If it isn't worth the trip, then none of that matters, eh?
