Kit comes complete....installation instructions could use more photos to help with installation for the home style mechanic.

WOW! More work than I expected. I ended up buying all new brake lines in the rear, which was a must. Also, the hard lines that were sent to marry the new Master Brake cylinder to the old brake distribution block did not fit and the fittings were not the correct ones either. I went to a local truck shop to have them shopped bent and spliced into a usable set. The instructions are good but could definitely use some more pictures with arrows and descriptions. For as expensive as this set is I expected it to be a lot more plug and play. I would not buy it again if I had it to do over. I have honestly not noticed any improvment from my drum brakes.

This kit was very complete and easy to install. The instructions are clear. AutoAnything had the best price anywhere. The difference in braking is incredible.

I have yet to install the kit, but there are several needed things missing to install the brakes. There is no adapter for the intake manifold to attach the vacuum hose to the included power brake master cylinder nor is there a vacuum hose included. The adapter proved to be the harder product to find. I went to a junk yard and removed the adapter from a car with power brakes. My car only had an adapter that supplied vacuum to the heating control unit. I needed an adapter that could supply vacuum to both the power brake master cylinder and the heating control unit. No one sells this item. Also the vacuum hose was not included. There is nothing in the directions about the size of the hose needed to fit the power brake master cylinder (11/16 inch). The vacuum hose is also not easily found in parts stores. I have bought a hose meant for the PCV valve and I assume this hose is strong enough not to collapse.

Nice kit, better braking power.

This is the only drum to disc brake conversion kit I could find that supposedly will fit wheels as small as 14 inch by 5 inch. There is, however a problem that SSBC does not mention: the 14 inch wheel must be from a year in which the car manufacturer offered disc brakes. If not, the wheel's "drop center" will be too wide and it will not fit over the caliper. On later years (maybe '67 and later) the "drop center" is narrower and thus does not conflict with the caliper. I found 14x6 inch wheels from a later year to replace my stock 14x6 inch wheels and the wheels fit over the caliper with no rubbing. These comments apply to the OEM steel wheels. The Rally I or Rally II wheels may not show this problem. In all other respects this is an excellent kit. It is very complete and all the parts fit very well. Highly recommended with the above caution.

The kit was complete and easy to install. The only wrinkle was grade 5 attaching bolts with a torque spec that exceeded that of the nuts supplied. Went out and bought some grade 8 nuts and finished the installation. Brakes work very well. Thanks for a nice, easy kit to install!

Kit seems to be very well made. I have one wheel installed and am working on the other. Haven't tackled the booster yet, but seem straight forward. Have a very small issue with the installation instructions. When installing the brake pads - it says to clinch the rear pad to the caliper - not sure what was meant by clinch and would like clarification on where the spring thing goes..but besides that - good instructions.

Very helpful sales person. Correct kit was shipped very quickly. Quality of this kit seems to be very good - all parts are there and are well made. This kit contains everything you need for the front power disc brake conversion. And these guys had it for around $100 less than everyone else - and free shipping! Still havent installed it yet, but I have read several articles that say it goes in really easily.
