Re: [Chrysler300] disk brakes for 57's

["rob kern" <robkern@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,
    Roger Thomason of AAJ brakes has the disc brake conversion kits.  You can order various levels of kits.  I obtained the deluxe kit for front and rear disc brakes on my C.  Everything is included except the brake lines which have to be made up on the customers end.  The four wheel disc arrangement hauls the car down nicely and instills great driving confidence in all levels of traffic. There has to be a slight modification made to the end of the driver's side wire loom cover next to the brake master cylinder so that proper clearance exists.  This is to prevent the engine from pressing up against the brake cylinder casting especially when in shifting to reverse gear and the engine torques upward slightly on the engine mounts. We just indented the last inch of the loom cover to provide the clearance.  Others have shaved part of the casting in the area to afford the necessary clearance.  ROB KERN

  Subject: [Chrysler300] disk brakes for 57's


  i believe i might get killed dead if my life depended on my stock 
  brakes stopping me.

  they are currently ok for buzzing around town but if i was out on the 
  freeway and flying i am not confident i could get stopped if i needed 
  to in a hurry.

  will the disk brake conversion kit solve my problem?

  and if so, who is the person or company that has the info and kits?

  and can a cowboy like me install them or does it take a brake shop?

  any info or help would be appreciated.
