Looking for rotor eating brake pads/Cordoba swap?

Hey Guys,i'm looking for a set of Cordoba front brake pads. I want pads that are better than stock. That's all the local parts houses seem to have. I swapped the Cordoba front brakes onto my 70 barracuda. Still trying to figure out which master cylinder to use for manual disk. I can get a 1" bore A-body manual mc from a 70 dart from my local parts house. Would that work OK? Thanks...Greg

when I went disc on my 68 Dart I used the MP 4 bolt to 2 bolt adaptor

installed an alum 2 bolt MC from a 5th ave

I swaped a 74 dart prop valve on to the 68 Dart

used an adjustable brake rod

work very good and no problems

I suggest droping the 4 bolt MC for the newer style alum 2 bolt

Thanks, I will check with my parts house on the 5th ave. mc.

I use 69 70 disc masters for a C body on ours.I also use ceramic pads.They are tons better than stock type.Stops great even at 120.Advanced got my pads.Rocky

HPS offers several different types of brake pads. Stock to very very grippy. I went somewhere in the middle and am happy.

Be careful the 5th ave MC is a 1 1/8"+/- bore which is a little big for a non-power set-up. You will lose pedal feel. I suggest keeping it around or just under an inch. Summit has a 7/8" MC for an early 90's Lebaron, Imperial, etc. I suggest that one.

Who is HPS and how do i contact them? Thanks for the info. I pulled the piston out of my original manual mc and the diameter is 1". Advance has a 1" 70 dart manual drum mc that i believe will work.

I've run both raybestos sure stops and bendix CQ ceramics, both work well....

Regarding the brake pad portion of your question. Which calipers are you using? Pin or slide type? Pin type have less of a pad selection IIRC.

Call the guys at Firm Feel. www.firmfeel.com

I have the pin type calipers. I will check out Firm Feel....Thanks

EBC & Hawk both make better pads; the EBC "Green Stuff" are pretty popular among the road-course guys.

Firm Feel can also get you the master cylinder adapter as well as a late model two bolt master. Or check the for sale pages on here and get a complete conversion kit from Eberg.

Advanced can get ceramic pads for pin type.Thats what I have on my 65.Probally about 35 bucks for a set.I believe mine were Beddix.Id have to find the box.Rocky

Thanks guys, i will check with Advance to see what they have. On their website they don't show any ceramic pads other than stock pads..Thanks
