Man those just look heavy
Get a good quality race brake kit and shave some weight while your at it.
I put Wilwoods on all 4 corners and dropped the ET just becuase of the lighter rotating mass.

I use the kit. For the money, it's hard to beat.
It is heavy, and it is a factory setup, but the parts are brand new, and you can get brake pads at Advance Auto Parts if you need them.
It's the single best thing I did to my car over the past forty years. The improvement over those old drum brakes is incredible.

Like I said earlier, it is the single best thing I ever did to the car.
If you bought the pieces seperately it would no doubt cost more and is a lot more screwing around. Ditto digging through some old boneyard, being bitten by insects and snakes and the like.
Everything is new, it fits, and you just take it out of the box and bolt it on. You can do it in a couple of hours. The only additional thing I bought was a $20 Jegs proportioning valve and plumbed it in.
You won't regret it...you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago.

Does this kit fit the A bodies as well? Description only says B and E bodies. Scrapyards around here with available parts are non-existant too. codfish
