Hello all,

so i have searched around here and there are a lot of positive and negative things said about brake conversion kits. there seems to be a lot of talk about ssbc.  I really need to get disc brakes, and am leaning towards a disc conversion kit.

what have some of you guys liked/disliked about the kits? Is a conversion kit the best way to go? im just looking to get as informed as I can.

I posted this response in another thread:

If I had it to do over again I'd go with Scarebird laser cut adapters that bolt to your original drum brake spindles and then buy the rest through a local parts store. I bought everything but the adapters and spindles from parts stores anyway but the Scarebird adapters make it easier.

"Change out your marginal front drums for affordable heavy duty disc with our CNC laser-cut brackets.  These cold-rolled steel adapters will bolt straight on to your drum spindles with no modification.  They use 1973 Plymouth Fury rotors (11-3/4" diameter) and 1994-99 Dodge Ram 1500 front calipers for excellent stopping power for your intermediate Mopar.  We also supply inner and outer CNC machined spacer bushings, new upper attachment hardware and banjo bolts along with installation info.  This requires the use of the15" Rally/Cop or larger rims; they will not fit 14" rims.  Email us direct for technical information and install sheet."
