1968 Chrysler Newport- Disc Brake Conversion

Hello,

I remember seeing a direct bolt on/ retro fit from I think it was a Dodge Dart to convert the Drum brakes from all four corners to disc. Has anyone completed this mod successfully? Can someone link me to it?

I don't think the Dart system would work or be big enough on a BIG C body. I would look for an early 70's C body with disks and get the whole system

I would save the headache and just go ssbc if at all possible. Kit was more or less a direct bolt in and made a great difference.

Don't go cheap, I suggest getting a four piston new brake system from Master Power Brakes or SSBC.
