Re: Disk Brake Concersion - to upgrade ball joints and tie rod ends or not to upgrade

ok - general question for those that have done front disk brake conversions....

My drums work pretty darn well - I'm wondering if maybe I should just do chief rocka's line-splitting and add a dual non-power master and call it a day....

wondering just how much improvement you actually notice when converting to disks?

I've saved up the $$ - but then again, I could also certainly be pretty happy to sink that into a 5-speed trans instead of a chunk for a disk upgrade, so still on the fence about the whole disk conversion. At a minimum, I want to put in a dual MC and split the lines, just for safety.

Oh yeah - forgot to mention the MAJOR benefit of just splitting the lines and forgetting about disks - keeping my stock wheels!!! If I do the disk conversion, I have to add the cost of new wheels and maybe tires since my stocker steelies will not fit. Hmmmmmm.
