Do you want to retain the factory axle adjustment, or go with Green Style bearings and eliminate the adjustment?

DrDiff IIRC has the only kit on the market that retains the factory adjuster, utilizes Cobra components

I personally have used several rear SSBC rear disc set up on 8 3/4 and DANA 60 axles, 15" rims are the minimum for clearance, you retain a parking brake, Green Bearings are required, utilizes Cobra components

either kit will work depending on what you desire, just be sure to research or ask questions to avoid any pitfalls when installing any mfg's kit


Thanks. I already have the Green Bearings for the car and plan to install them when I remove and restore the rear end. I plan to run 15" wheels on the car too. If the SSBC has a good system I will consider it, the front I installed from them appears to be nice quality, easy assembly.





If you go with the SSBC rear discs, their instructions leave a lot to be desired (unless that's changed?), seeing how the kit is somewhat universal in that it gives you a broad spectrum of adjustment/fitment, just remember to center the caliper's pads/opening on the center of the rotor, I've seen too often some individuals bolt the caliper directly to the axle tube flange bracket supplied in the kit without shimming it in a centered location as it sits on the rotor, this leads to premature inner pad failure, and poor operation....what rear end are you running?, do you plan on removing the thrust button in the 3rd member?

Many other variables to take into account: I generally try and design an ideal 70/30 to a minimum of 60/40 front to rear brake brake bias by choosing a set of rear discs based on what I'm running upfront caliper fluid volume wise as well as piston(s) diameter and pad/rotor surface area so I can avoid running a proportioning valve to limited the rear bias, I generally run the rearward line right off the master, and the front master line I'll "Tee" off for L/R, no distribution block, no proportioning block, generally I make most of my systems and customers systems power assist, running a dual diaphragm booster, if the engines vacuum can support it?, generally a stick car can get by with 8-10" vacuum, an automatic usually needs 15" vac minimum running a dual diaphragm booster to safely have repeated braking ability
