Best front disc brake conversion? CPP or POL?

I want to do a front disc brake conversion on my '69 C/20 (8-lug) and do not want to go the donor route. Bottom line here... Who has the best disc brake set up? Many of you have converted your front drums to disc, but I can't seem to find feedback on who has the best quality, instructions, price, support. The only ones I am familiar with (for keeping my 8-lug set up) are CPP (Classic Performance Products) and POL (Performance Online). Let me know who you used and would recommend.

Re: Best front disc brake conversion? CPP or POL?

I've had really good luck buying from PerformanceOnline.
Not so much with CPP.
(even though they eventually made it right.

I would check out the Review Board area before you make your decision.
Look here for bad deals,...

Explain to me what the difference would be in ordering from you versus going direct to CPP.

Wow that was an eye opener! Tried Early Classics but they don't carry the C/20 8-lug disc conversion. I don't really want to change out the rear end to go with 1/2 ton 5-lug set up.

Ordering through Us Vs. CPP you will not only recieve a forum discount but you will also recieve excellent customer service and follow up... Cpp has a good product we just complement it with our service....

I didn't know you guys would be stocking CPP products.

Go with Porterbuilt Direct.
They will be my new source for CPP products.

Called Porterbuilt Direct. Gonna give them a shot to see what they can do with price and delivery on 8-lug set up. Seems like a lot of folks have had delivery and customer service issues dealing directly with CPP. I will see what Jon can do for me.

Do you have any info on diaphragm/master set ups? Want to make sure what I end up with is quality set up. Not sure if the CPP booster/MC set up is what I should get.
