Before I get out there and do all the research on my own, has anyone else done a comparison of the various kits that are available? No sense in reinventing the wheel if someone's done the legwork already.
Or for that matter, what ARE the various kits that are available? I know about the Classic Performance stuff. What else is out there? I prefer a kit over piecing it together. If it includes suspension components, so much the better as I'll be going for a 4/5 drop as well.
If I can get a fairly exhaustive list of companies offering disc brake kits, I'm willing to put together a comparison chart on my website to help others ... assuming this info isn't already out there, that is. Thanks for any info! :-) | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I used the CPP kit on my '54 GMC and was happy with it. ECi also makes kits. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 | Thanks for the feedback on CPP! As far as I can tell, ECi doesn't make a kit for my '64 -- they give up at '59, it seems.  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 77 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 77 | try www.mpbrakes.com I have used them for 2 of my trucks, quality parts. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 117 | Originally posted by 66/STEPSIDE: try www.mpbrakes.com I have used them for 2 of my trucks, quality parts.I found Master Power Brakes with a Google search a few nights back. I'm working on putting together a comparison chart of all the kits/companies I can locate, both to help me in my decision and to help others in the future.

DanThanks -- but it looks like they, too, cut off at '59. :\ | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | | | |
