Which would be the best brake kit?

[69chargerboy]

Anyone have any personal experience with any aftermarket disc brake conversions? I'm trying to decide which to buy. The conversions range in price from $1300 to $500. Other than differences in brand names, and how many pistons in a caliper I want, what else would I look for? I have a 69 Charger R/T with 11" power drum brakes, what would be a good choice? Or would it be just personal preference?  I have a few links of the others I have found for the 69 Charger.

BAER?  They have very nice products?  I believe you will need different spindles for most conversions.  Depends on what you start with but most drum brake cars need to have different spindles put in.

Ya, Baer are nice, but a little pricey. I haven't seen a Baer set-up for a 68 to 70 B Body yet. So far, I may go with the Willwood set-up.

From the pictures, it looks like the SSBC and ECI kits have plates to adapt the drum spindles to hold a caliper?

I went with the higher-end SSB setup for my 69 RT. direct bolt on except for swapping out the rear studs.

My buddy put Viper brakes on the front of his Road Runner. He made his own brackets.

Did you have the stock wheels for this set up?  How did they fit?
