You can buy everything new this way if that's your preference. http://www.scarebird.com/ 1967 Dodge Coronet Deluxe station wagon 1.03" T-bars, QA1 arms/rods, Cordoba/GM Metric/Volare brake & knuckle, XHDs, Hellwig rear sway, 318 Magnum w/ air gap, 727, 3.23s

The problem is that many of the kits use junk parts. Best deal is to swap on the late model A body disc brakes. Then you have OEM quality parts and repairs are easy down the road. You can buy the A body brakes in kit form if you want, but sometimes the quality of those kits is suspect too.

You can buy the A body brakes in kit form if you want, but sometimes the quality of those kits is suspect too. I forget where, but somebody tested out other spindles (Cordoba, Diplomat, etc) and found that while they did have a less desirable toe curve or something, only the hardest driving would reveal it. A-body disc spindles are really hard to find in some parts. 1967 Dodge Coronet Deluxe station wagon 1.03" T-bars, QA1 arms/rods, Cordoba/GM Metric/Volare brake & knuckle, XHDs, Hellwig rear sway, 318 Magnum w/ air gap, 727, 3.23s
