ok i'm doing a disc brake swap on the 68 chevelle, I was given disc brake for free from a 72 monte but i'm going to buy new caliper, rotors, pads and everthing else.

right not i have manual drum brakes. and the brake off the monte come with a booster proportion valve. how do i hook up the valve and were can i buy a new one?

and i'm also changing my coil springs, i was told on a different car my friend did he put drop coils in and they would bottom out while hes driving.

i'm thinging about 1'' drop

any ideas ? this is a street car

You can buy everything from PirateJack.net They have great prices. This is where i bought mine. You should just buy a new proportioning valve from piratejacks for disk/drum. You friend must have put the wrong springs in. Your can buy 2" drop or 1" drop springs from many suspension places online. I just cut mine. It wasnt the easiest job in the world, and lots of people dont recommend it, but works great for me.

Try searching for all these topics, they have all been discussed dozens of times. More than likely with a little reading you will find more than you wanted to know, and of course the answers to your questions. :beers:

Also, I just listed the exact calipers with pads for sale in the classified section if you are interested in buying them. They are new and came with my conversion kit, but I already had a set.
