I remember either Currie or Speedway had a similar kit a couple of years ago at about the same price ($300) but I haven't seen it listed lately on the Speedway site - I haven't looked at Currie's.

The last posts show my new low cost (bolt-on) 11" GM Metric based rear disc brake kit. It is best suited for drag cars with skinny tires on the front of the car, and large tires on the rear. This brake kit yields more rear bias, as 2", 2 3/8" and 2 1/2" bore calipers are available. Even though they will interchange, I don't recommend using the troublesome GM caliper with the built in parking brake.
I recommend my 10.7" or 11.7", Mustang Cobra based rear disc brake kits for other (street/handling) applications. These kits incorporate a reliable, integral parking brake mechanism and small (1.5") pistons for cars that require less rear brake bias.

Too bad about the SVO (Explorer kit) being discontinued. That was a pretty cost effective setup, been a long time since I bought it from you Cass, but I remember it was in the 300 range as well? Works well with the Lokar e-brake cables.

Do you have stock front end? Booster?
Yes I have the stock front disc that came on my car ('75 Duster), but I do run a '95 Mustang master cylinder.
