I have a 69 camaro with all drum brakes right now. I want to put disc brakes on and was wondering if I should go with all 4 disc brakes, or go 2 front, or 2 rear? Any advice?

 

Well my advice would be, first think about your budget, then you need to think about what you want to do with the car (show, street, road racing, drag racing, etc...). Then once you decided then you can start picking options like vented and drilled rotors, power vs manual brakes, braided steel lines, etc.....

Kits are pretty decently priced and most fit on without any problems.

For my car, I just went with a disc/ drum setup.

I got a kit from CCP and it fit great, but there are others out there that are just as good or even better.

So in the end, your going to make the final call depending on what you want to do with your car and your budget.

 

Thanks for the advice my budget isn't really o problem I just would like to know what way would be the best for me it's only gonna be driven in town

 

If your only going to street drive it, I'd go with a power brake/drum setup.

I get 11" rotors that are vented and slotted that will help to keep them cool.

You can get them from just about any Camaro vendor, like Classic Inudustries, Ricks, Year One, etc.

I got mine from Matt's Classic Bowtie which was made by CCP and came competely assembled, all ready to drop.

 

Ok thanks alot I'll check those places out

 

Do you think if I could find a original set of disk brakes it would be better or should I get after market

 

With the setup you suggest and if I have them installed by a mechanic, do you know approximately the cost?

thanks

 

If cost isn't an issue, go with disc all the way around...
I have front disc and rear drum, but would love to have disc all the way around.

One thing to consider is that most kits (Master Cylinder's) are designed for disc all the way around. When you keep your drums in the rear, you'll have to install a proportioning valve.. Just one more thing to clutter your engine compartment...

Something to think about anyway.
