I want to swap my stock type drum brakes in the front of my ´66 Belvedere. What is a good conversion kit for street use? Someone told me the Wilwoold 4-piston calipers are crappy. Is that true? What about all those other manufacturers like SSB, Bear and so on?
Any suggestion is welcome.

Contact Dr. Diff on here. Do a search, you'll find him. I went thru him for my 67 Coronet front disk kit. Excellent service and a great guy to get advice from. I'm planning to do business with him again fairly soon.

Speedway Motors has everything from the spindles to the rotors, dust shields!, calipers, EVERYTHING Mopar sourced for $519.00.
Didn't think it sounded too bad since it includes everything.

A friend did a conversion that turned out well. He used the stock knuckle like yours and with adapters from AR Engineering and stock 11.75 rotors, he fitted 1st gen VIPER aluminum calipers.
That kit is really popular. AR011 is the part number and Mancini Racing usually has them in stock.
