We'll take a look at this 1966-1970 B Body O.E.M. Style Disc Brake Kit & Booster Kit as an example. 

First, why purchase a brake booster kit and and a disc brake kit in one package? The simple answer is that if you are doing one, you might as well do the other. Both project require much of the same work to accomplish and doing them at the same time can help save you time and money on your repair work. Secondly, both repair jobs are meant to improve the braking performance of your hot rod, so it makes sense to do them at the same time. 

Here is everything that comes in the kit: 

  • Rotors
  • Calipers
  • Backing plates
  • Spindles
  • Hoses
  • Bearings
  • Seals
  • Dust caps
  • Spindle washers
  • Spindle nuts
  • all of the hardware you'll need to complete both projects

You won't have to worry about finding any parts on your own; instead, you can concentrate on completing your conversions and getting your hot rod ready for the road. Our kits are made to make your job easier and get your vehicle up and running again faster.
