Also check out kits from MBM, Speedway Motors, and Wysco Product.

If low cost is what you are looking for, go with a set of FMJ spindles/rotors/calipers. The haters will be in complaining about the bogus spindle height issue in 3...2...1... Check with 65belvjim. He had a set a couple days ago.

I just did this swap in the spring on my 67 Belvedere. I used the kit from Right Stuff Detailing(lines and all). Simple kit, everything was included. No major bending of lines.
Ok

I bought spindles off a 73 dart...the rest off napa..(bearings,pads,rotors,install kit,etc) and cost just under 400.00
67 R/T...stops.....excellent.....but if you have $$$$$$$ to burn....get a 800 + kit
