    Chevy Power Disc Brake Conversion

     



    I have a 1967 Impala SS. It has drum brakes. I was wanting to know if anyone knows what vehicles I could use to replace my drum brakes with power disc brakes?

    Lots of companies making complete disc brake conversion for almost any car... Not sure I'd go junkyarding for parts of questionable history when a few more bucks will get all brand new components that are correctly matched to make a quality, safe, and good performing set of brakes... If you're switching from drums to discs, don't forget about getting the correct master cylinder, booster, and combination valve, too.

    Sounds good Dave I agree. Spend a little more money and get equipment that you know will last and not malfunction on you. The worst thing that you would want to happen is to have that master cylinder freeze up on you and the pedal feel like there are cement blocks underneath it. That is a long, heavy sled that you need good stopping power on. just my 2cents.
