I thought some of you might want to see one of Dr Diff's rear disc kits. It uses 2004 Mustang Cobra calipers and rotors. The parking brake is integrated into the calipers and Cass can include the cables to make it bolt right up to your existing parking brake. Very cool and when on the binders real hard from 70 mph+ the car stops straight and true.

The car is a 68 Charger

Thanks for the pics...it looks nice. Where you able to keep the tapered wheel bearings?

I have yet to do rear discs but will use Dr.Diff when I do. Bonus to his kits is retaining factory axle bearings.

Any idea how they feel after a 70mph slalom?

We use that kit on our 24 Hours of Lemons car and it works great. It was originally on our 4000 pound 67 Fury and at it's last race we were going from 130 MPH to 60 MPH at the end of the straight at Spokane and it never faded once. We have 73 C-Body discs on the front with 4 piston Viper calipers. We have the same brakes now on our 64 Barracuda Lemons car. Of course with the 170 ci slant 6 we can't get it to go fast enough to even warm the brakes up!

What size are the rotors?

What does a kit like this cost? Looks to be well thought out.

Not too shabby...

We run that kit on Tim's Valiant. With the new 427 inch small block Tim's car runs 150-160 mph at Portland International. The brakes get used pretty hard at that track.

I'm curious if the rear disc setup from Dr. Diff changes the rear track width... by any width at all??? I'm leaning towards eventually gettin the econo ~10.57" setup.. so they will still fit inside my 15" vintage minilite rims that I use for the street/hwy cruising.

A few weeks back I ran into a rear end brake lock up issue posted here. A quick solution was just to dump my OEM tapered axles and go with a dr diff small disc/axle package with an e brake. Seems like a decent solution, my application is low performance cruiser only, but with my aftermarket 14x8" wheel package, that I really want to keep, the 3/16" added width per side with the disc kit, is putting solution on hold. I am already barely rubbing. One solution for me is to lath cut wheels for more back space. I'm currently at a standstill.

I'm thinking about trying this kit on an R&D car. Better get the sledgehammer back out.....get them fenders a bit wider.

I have them on my b-body width Dana in the Challenger. They work great, I have an adjustable p-valve plumbed in but never needed to use it. He uses 89 Toyota Cressida rotors. I sourced my own rotors so they matched my front ones.




HD tapered bearings and retainers...

I make 2 different versions.

The 10.7" kit uses Toyota Cressida rear rotors.

The 11.7" kit uses Mustang Cobra rear rotors.

I recommend the 10.7" kit for 15" wheels and the 11.7" kit for 17" and larger wheels.

Project black n blue-the 1970 Charger RT has the Dr Diff cobra brakes on the rear and the large mopar rotors on the front with the wilwood calipers. No problems with this set up on or off the track.

This braking set up work very, very well on the road course on a big fat heavy car. Good enough to outbrake a Challenger SRT and many other cars...and not be red hot after 45 minutes of laps

Just a reminder that all braking systems put under duress require air ducts whether its a 70 foot slalom or hot laps on thunder road.

We more than likely are going back to the track [Watkins Glen] with a new Cope transmission/converter, turbo action shifter, real track tires and some new hardware [shhh it's a secret] on the suspension that should improve the handling yet not increase the ride harshness.
I can't talk about the aero tricks either...yet.

This will also be a good test of the braking/suspension systems for sure as lap times will drop and brake temps go up. We will be running the NASCAR course in the afternoon so it will be really interesting to see how well ole big fat n happy black n blue performs.
