Question on brakes

[whiteknuckler]

I have a 69 Coronet R/T "driver" with a 440 automatic. I put an 11 inch disc brake conversion on the front years ago. Last year I did the Hotchkis total vehicle suspension. With the car handling so much better, the new weak link is the brakes. I was thinking of adding a power brake master cylinder and putting discs in the rear also. I would appreciate any input or advise on this from anyone on this forum. Thanx, Jack.

I plan on doing a 4 wheel disc conversion on my 70 RR. Asked quite few Mopar owners last summer about their conversion projects, what they used (brand), how did the change go, etc....and was very surprised that quite a few that did not use a Wilwood kit said they are going to replace the kits they did use with a Wilwood kit.......not happy with the quality of the kits they did use.......so I am going to use a Wilwood kit....cost more but they are very well made and everyone that I found that those that did use a Wilwood kit are very happy with them.............hope this helps.

SSBC for me with 98 Grand Cherokee rear discs. Love em,and had 2 cars with this set-up. Non power in both but really dont need it.

SSBC here too... whitenuckler slotted & drilled disc/rotors will help too, dissipate some heat & better grab, find a good racing/performance pad/puck for the calipers, those will help too, may wear stuff out faster, but will help... larger calipers with more braking surface area like the Force 10 6-pistons calipers from SSBC, should help too... having your rotors cryogenic treated, heated then froze professionally, that will make them last longer too, harder material less flex/deflection, better cooling... use Teflon lined braided steel DOT approved hoses will help some too, the rubber hoses grow allot under braking & hi-pressure... Dr. Diff has some good brake stuff too, he knows his stuff on MoPars... good luck

Thanx to all who responded, I ended up going with Doctordiff and am very happy with customer service and ease of installation. I have not driven car yet as it is still winter in the northeast, but appears to be very good quality.
