I know there have been about a gazillion questions asked on this forum about Disc brake conversions, so I'm gonna make it a gazillion and one. Are these the right brakes for my 70 Charger, with 15" wheels?

Looks like the 11" discs - so it should fit 15" wheels. I bought a set that was similar looking but including a power brake booster and master cylinder for $500! It's a tight fit but with this kit you can use 14" wheels as well.

Yep, that's just a new looking version of the '73-'76 Dart/Duster/Scamp set up...$500.00 isn't bad for all that stuff new...Hell, you can hardly get by with that much after rebuilding a junkyard set....The 11" (10.87) version will clear 14" wheels..

That's the kit i bought:



It is manufactured by MBM Brakes - www.mbmbrakeboosters.com
Can't find the article now but in one article in Mopar Muscle Magazine they use the MP Brakes Kit ($1000+) - but in the picture you can see that the adapter is also label MBM (like in the cheaper kit) - maybe the rest of the parts are the same as well... ?

So are you overall happy with your brakes?

Haven't installed them yet but in a month or so I can tell you more. What I heard about the 11" brakes is that they give you decent stopping power for a street car but not necessarily for prolonged track visits. The parts are nice quality btw
