Price after everything didn't make enough of a difference. Old cars with decent parts in local junk yards are getting tough to find and local Mopar people don't let loose of much.

If you put some power in the car and want to take it to the track then you'll need to step up. We upgraded the red Valiant to six piston Baer stuff earlier this year. The complete kit costs about $3000 but it really works. 6307422-front.jpg (59 downloads)

I did also.I chose the SSBC kit because of the 4 piston calipers.I did not opt up for the coated calipers or rotors nor the slotted & crossdrilled.I am going 135mph in the 1/4 mile @3800 lbs stopping effortlessly,next season I expect trap speeds over 150mph HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!
