Ok I am sure this has been discussed many times, but I am considering changing my four wheel 11" power drum car to either disc up front or disc all around.

With so many kits on the market I am looking for feedback on what to go for and what to avoid. Some come complete with spindles and some use stock drum spindles. Currently I am looking at kits from Master Power and the Right Stuff. Any feed back will be appreciated.

well, i'll put in my $0.02.

i got the master power kit in my car.

the positives:
the kit was complete
it supposedly uses all factory hardware, so you should be able to get new pads @ the local parts store

the not-so positives:
imo, tech support was difficult to contact or get a return phone call.
the kit only offers 10.75" rotors

if i had to do it over again, i'd do the f/m/j body setup here & get 11.75" rotors for (probably) less $$$:

you could also contact dr diff, who has conversion kits available:

If you are looking for the FMJ spindles and big caliper brackets I might have a set available.

I have AndyFs gen 1 Viper kit on my Challenger. If you can get a good set of used calipers at a decent price it is a great setup for the money.

DrDiff has a kit that I have heard good things about also. I think he uses the Cobra caliper.
