Help needed in converting a non-power all drum to power disc system on my 66 SS. I was looking around a bit and found http://www.ssbrakes.com. Have not decided to go with them yet but they provide good info and have a WIDE variety of kits. I found their rear disc setup that has options and I just don't know what they mean by the following terms (full description below) ....

1). staggered vs non-staggered shocks
2). C-clip vs non C-clip axles

Full description.
Disc brake conversion kit for GM 10&12 bolt rear ends with staggered or non-staggered shocks & C-clip or non C-clip axles. Force 10 SuperTwin caliper & 11.25" rotor.

Thanks for the help.

Staggered shocks, are one shock mounted on the front side of the axle and one on the backside. OUt beloved A bodies have non staggered shocks, both mounted on the backside. C clips are...well...ummm...little c clips that hold the axles in. Chevrolet, 10 and 12 bolt rear ends are c clip axles. Hope this helps.....
