The Trans Am rear disc will have to go.....tired of fighting park brake cables and mal-adjusted rear brakes.
The 70 Monte Carlo front disc set up front does most of the stopping anyway.
Anybody use the rear drum kit from In Line Tube?...looks complete.

Thanks.

I haven't used it, so I can't offer any insight to the Inline Tube kit...

BUT

If you're going to get a brand new rear drum kit, I'd strongly consider stepping up to the 11" rear drums. Better braking at about the same cost as the 9.5" kit (note that you may need to mess with F/R proportioning after moving to the 11" brakes)

I know various folks offer "drop-in" 11" kits such as:
Master Power Brakes (http://www.mpbrakes.com/products/product-detail.cfm?product_id=493)
Daves Rearend Stuff (http://stores.ebay.com/Daves-Rearend-Stuff-1)
others (?)

Going to change the prop valve anyway.

Good suggestion.

Thanks
