Rear Disc Brake Kits

[Mieser3]

I'm planning on converting my 71 Chevy's rear drum brakes to discs. What kits have some of you out there used? Are any of the kits better than the others?

We have used some kits from the "big advertisers", and they work well. We haven't yet had a kit that we didn't have to get the die-grinder out to get the holes to fit. Other than that, a good fit. If your state has safety inspections, the E-brake is a big deal.

No such thing as a true bolt on ....but that's what keeps it interesting.

If you're looking for the best bang for the buck and don't mind some fab work, you might check out speedwaymotors.com. They have a basic kit for around $260 (w/o ebrake). It comes with brackets that you have to weld on, but if you're not afraid of that, it is about the cheapest way to go I've seen.
