I know, it's been discussed ten thousand times. If you do a search, you get as many opinions as hits. I've go t so much data I can't sort it all out.

I would like a simple recommendation for a good conversion kit for a 67. We don't have the time to run all over the countryside gathering parts. So using the spindles from here and the calipers but not he brackets from there and don't forget to grind the ear off this, and make sure you hold your mouth right when installing that; isn't going to work for us. I know BAER is wonderful. It's also 50% higher than everybody else and out of my budget. So, what's a good, better, best front brake conversion kit for our 67 SB Coupe. The frame is stripped (or soon will be) so it's a clean slate on what we use. I don't know the difference between the NPD, OPG or GUP kits, let alone between them and SSB and ECI.

I just want a complete kit I can bolt on and have work for an occasional weekend cruiser. Not looking for vendor bashing, just a simple answer like: "I used this and liked it, or wouldn't do it again." Or even "Stop your whining and just buy one dummy". Anybody want to take a shot at this??

BTW - now my head does hurt. :confused:

You didn't mention what size of rims that you are going to use but if you are are going to use 17 inch rims and are looking at big brakes, I would take a look at Touring Classic's C5/C4 Corvette brake conversions. I am looking for a big brake conversion for my 68 and have did a lot of research. I am leaning toward one of their kits. They offer complete kits using either C4 or C5 13" rotors and C5 calipers. These are similar to Baer's Track system but about 60% the cost. They are currently on sale and the difference between their price and putting something together piece by piece is not all that much, certainly not enough to justify the aggravation. IMHO anyway!
Speedtech Performance also offers similar kits, although I have not priced theirs. Try their websites: www.speedtech-performance.com (http://www.speedtech-performance.com) and www.touring-classics.com (http://www.touring-classics.com)

By the way, the level ruler shows a net drop of 3/8...good start!

Also, both of the cars were wearing 15" shoes...

Herb,
I'm doing the exact same thing here in N.C. to a 67 BB SS.Try to find an A body car from 67-72 that had disc brakes, and it is a direct bolt on.
My set came from a 72 Monte Carlo.I got the Spindles,rotors backing plates,Prop valve the hole works for 175.00.I cleaned everything up and replaced the caliper seals and wheel bearings.And I am lucky enough to have a friend that does Cadmium plating.(Triad Aviation).You could just paint them but I wanted the extra detail of the plating.A line kit from In-Line tube Inc. and you are in business.I'm setup for less than 450.00 and the installation was direct bolt-on and looks really neat. hope this helps

fishman, thanks. I take it you just took the spindles and all and bolted them to yours?

BTW - where in NC are you.

yes,Thats exactly what I did.The spindles from the Monte was what I used and everything just bolted up.It was so simple that it scared me at first.Nothing could be that easy.
I am in Kinston about 85 miles east of raleigh.How about you?Also my direct e-mqail is goff7197@cox.net

fishman, thanks. you've got mail.
