Not sure its budget anymore as its spendier than when I had one installed a few years back when I thought it was a good value ( although i had a master cylinder) Mine is manual. Works with 15" rims just fine.

GM AFX Front Disc Brake Drilled Caliper Rotor and Brake Pad Kit (leedbrakes.com)

I also installed a new manual master cylinder for a 67 disc / drum application, and I installed big 11" drum brakes out back.

 

69’s the same setup as a 66 using CPP C5 spindle/upright, .5 tall Howe upper ball joints, c7 xtracker hubs, and OEM c5/6 corvette rotors/calipers, pads. When I did that a few years ago I spent about $500. Now it would probably cost closer to $1000.

 

I recently changed my front only of a 4 whl disc kit I bought 10 yrs ago to Wilwood 12” Dynaforged, then got to looking at the parts I removed from the 1st kit and found the front rotors were Not right, I’ll see if I can find a pic and these have less than 100 miles on them, can’t find the pic but the rotor disc had a thin front side like it was turned down compared to the back disc or back side of the rotor if that makes sense, $1,100ish spent before finding that out but now I’m comfortable with my brakes

 

Just last month I installed this on my car and it installed easily and is working great

 

In 1997 I was able to source the spindles I needed from the junkyard, loaded with rotors and bearings, new calipers and master cylinder from the local parts store and I was good to go. Total cost was not much. Recently upgraded the calipers to Wilwood while retaining the stock rotors, improvement yet to be determined.

If you're looking for bolt on setup this probably won't help. I did the "LS1 big brake upgrade" on my 64 and love it. Took brakes off a 2000 v6 Camaro (same as V8) and made them work. I had to source front hubs, rear parking brake cable holders, and change the rear brake line setup. Total was $550 including new brake lines and even fluid. They've worked flawlessly between tracking the car, cruising, or sitting in traffic it's not even on my radar.

Budget big brake upgrade?

Looking to upgrade the front discs on my 64. Have 70 chevelle discs with a hydroboost setup. The brakes work great, but have experienced overheating / fade and am wanting to avoid that in the future. Have 2" drop spindles, where would I find brackets / hubs that won't break the bank and allow...

What I did (and when I did it) original GM parts were only option. Found in a wreaking yard a complete front disc set-up from a 1970 442. I mean complete: hard and rubber lines, spindles, rotors, calipers, brackets, master cyclinder and proportioning valve, for $95. Yeah, I know you won't it that cheap (did it in 1986) today, but an option if you can find the spindles. All the rest is available new. And still less way $$$ than a kit. In the years following I have added 1969 chevelle power booster, new prop valve, m. cylinder, rubber lines, custon SS hard lines, and re-built the calipers. Total investment just under $350. This system will not deliver stopping power like the 4 and 6 piston set-ups, but have panic stopped more than once and found my system provided all the stopping power I needed. For me I like looking at the system knowing it is all GM parts and looks stock. Again what to use depends are how you will use the car. The 442 system works for me just fine. Will never convert to rear disc.

 

The factory disc drum set up. Use Porterfield street performance pads and matching rear brake shoes.
