This is a really nice disc brake setup that Cass had engineered for the Mopar rear ends. This setup keeps the tapered roller bearings rather than forcing you to switch to the green bearings. It also uses an OEM quality caliper with weather seals and e-brake. Nice setup that is fairly compact and lighweight. 6157779-cass.jpg (965 downloads)

I don't see why they say green bearings are required. The Fine Lines kit won't work with factory rally rims, I hear that the kit Cass offers will. The Dr. Diff kit looks very nice in comparison, which may justify the price difference for some. Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen! Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

DoctorDiff master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 8,016 Polson, MT	My rear disc brake kits work with OEM adjustable A-7 bearings, 3.15" A-20 tapered bearings, MO-400 Green bearings, ST-400 Green bearings and RP-400 Green bearings. I have 3 versions with different rotor sizes: 13", 11.7" and 10.7". The most popular size is 10.7" (pictured) which fits most 15" wheels. Most 10.7" kits I sell come with a bolt-together steel caliper bracket because the high-offset aluminum version is cost prohibitive. The 11.7" and 13" versions come with billet aluminum caliper brackets because the offset is much shallower. Drilled/slotted/plated rotors are optional on all kits.

They have saved my bacon a few times in critical finess braking situations. The price is right too! 6162611-753013-R1-044-20A_013(Large).jpg (587 downloads) 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

If you don't have green bearings and they are required for a brake setup, what can happen? What do you gain? Lose?

Can i assume that the 11.7" rears will fit under stock 15" steel rims? 15x8" Ramcharger rims? How would a 3200lb E-body brake with 11.75/11.7" discs all 'round...??? I've been thinking about this idea for a long time for my 70 Challenger. Last time i checked (long ago) i thought it was AndyF making conversion brakes for Mopars, but now i see his car with Dr. Diff's brakes... Hmmm... Would the 11.7" rear set-up be lighter than a drum brake set-up?
