Saw this WILWOOD DISC BRAKE KIT,FRONT,66-72 DODGE CHARGER,11" part number 140-11020.  saw this on ebay just wondering if would work with mine.said work with drum brake spindles will they work with disk brake spindles. I have the orginal 4 piston bendix front brakes trying to figure out which way to go rebuild old or buy new.

These brake kits fit drum specific spindles only, so they won't work on your disc spindles.

Rebuild or replace,  guess it depends on what you want. The wilwood kits will be lighter and have a broader range of pad choices if your competing. They may have a higher initial cost and will require you get pads from performance distributors, not your local arts shop. If your a casual cruiser, you probably don't need the lighter weight and broader pad choice.  But, parts availability and cost will certainly be better than the OEM 4 pot units you have now. If you want a more OEM look, you can always change to later model 11.75 rotors and gain additional braking capability, while looking original and have easier access to parts store components.

Ok I think the prvious owner already did that because my rotors are 11.75. I just want to see the rebuild price for rebuilding mine vs buying all new set up. tks
