Honest opinion's wanted

It installed fairly easily .. but I just wasn't that impressed with it. I did all 4 wheels at the same time vs. 4 wheel drum so as far as overall difference my opinion is a bit one sided ( huge difference over drums ) but take a look at Wilwood or Baer before you decide.

Big brakes and the right big brake kit ? I say yes there's a difference over stock. Would I do McGaughys again? Probably not.

Thanks, this is the kind of info I like to see.
Come on guy's there has to be more of you that have swapped out your brakes!
