Buying drum to disc brake conversions for classic GM A, F, and X-bodies can be expensive, not to mention hard to find. Broadening the field a little bit is a new Classic Series front brake kit by Wilwood. The upgrade kit is made specifically for early models like the Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, etc. It is made to clear most GM 14” to 15” wheel backspacing.
The new Classic Series front brake kit is an affordable, easy-to-install alternative that brings more options to classic GM owners. It includes everything to convert from drum to disc brakes, and mounts to the original spindles. Included are forged Dynalite 4-piston calipers and 11” vented rotors. The kit is completed by the BP-10 SmartPads, needed hardware, mounting brackets, and stainless braided brake lines.
This lower cost solution provides exquisite stopping power without modification to connecting braking components.
