Stainless Steel Brakes #884-A153 to convert a 68 barracuda to front disc brakes. Any luck?

I used there b body one on my 70 roadrunner. I went with the power brake set up and i could not get the brakes to work well. it uses a GM master cylinder and single diaprham booster.

I put in a mopar dual diaphram booster and 15/16" bore master cylinder and the brakes work great now.

THe kit installed very easily and you can use the stock 14" wheels.

I put in the non-power conversion on a 69 RR and was very impressed with the ease of installation and completeness of the kit. The brakes worked great and we had no M/C issues.

Jason, is that the kit with the aluminum four piston calipers? It's pricey, but the quality should be there. Check with Jim Valukis. He's probably got the parts to convert to late model discs. Or are you trying to keep small bolt pattern?

Just my two cents, but for that kind of money, I would want a little better than just an upgraded stockish system. Why not Aerospace or Wilwood kit? I run Wilwoods, and they are very nice for the street, super light, super easy to change pads, and fantastic at stopping. The Aerospace ones look like a step up from those....

Jason,

I used the SSBC kit on my '71 Dart GT. Very expensive ($830 to my door from Mancini), but very complete. It was a simple install. I was able to keep my 14" Rallye wheels with 4" bolt pattern front and rear (8 3/4" 3.23:1 SG). I'm happy and would use SSBC again.

I used SSBC Manual front and rear disk break kit on my 68 with no issues,I used there alum caliper and had them powder coated black.Nice stuff went togeather with no mods.

i have done two swaps on other peoples cars. one a 65 rustang and the other is a 72 chevelle. both nice kits with no major issues to work around. other than the prices i think they are ok.
