Drum to Disc Advice
Hey everone. I'm looking to convert my 67' with a 10 bolt rear from drum drum to either disc disc or disc drum. I'm looking at either CCP or SSBC packages. Anyone here ever do it? Any success stories with either company?
|
I havent used either but both packages look complete. The process isn't that hard. How are your brake hard lines? Are they in good shape?
|
I've changed calipers, roters, and pads, but never got too deep in anything else. The lines are probably 20 years old :shock:. I'd like to go with a stainless steel so they'll last.
I'm debating if I can do it myself and save some $$, or if I should bring it to someone and save a headache. |

Pre-bent SS lines are not bad to work with. I bet SSBC or Baer can set you up with any line adapters if needed.

Bought mine from here,, I put front dics from a 69 on mine & they knew which fittings, adapters, etc that I wolud need.

The one 68 Camaro I had was converted to 4 wheel discs using some brackets on Ebay to convert the rear. I think you need to use some flexible front brake lines to use calipers in the rear. The only thing I didn't like was no emergency brake. If you use that type of kit, you can get the Cadillac(I forget which years) rear calipers which have an emergency brake built in. I used a Corvette master cylinder for 4WD cars and the car stopped awesome. It totally blew away a 4th gen for stopping power. It can be done inexpensively but you might be better off with a complete kit.

i would highly recommend coated brake line. napa carries it. sooooooo much better than anything else out there.
