Drum to disc brake conversion kit for 14 inch wheels
14 of 15 people found the following review helpful.
Reviewed by Duane S (El Cajon, CA) 1992 BMW 3-Series — Aug 27, 2011 7:53 PM
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.

Reviewed by Don D (Carrollton, IL) 2001 Dodge Ram — Apr 18, 2011 8:29 PM
The parts in the kit were very good quality. I was however expecting a little more form the kit. The caliper mounts needed more shimming than the shims included would compensate for, so i had to use washers. I would like to have seen brackets for the rubber hose where it attaches to the steel lines and the way the driver side brake cable operates is a bit cheesy. Other than that it was an easy install.

Well pretty easy to install works great, my original brakes sucked so bad I almost sold the vehicle. The only problem I had was the 7/16 bolts were 1/2"to short and 1 of the steel brake tubes was a little short. Other than that awesome kit. I installed this on a 2002 dodge durango RT 4X4 with a 5.9
