{Chrysler 300} Disc or not to Disc that is the question!

["'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club International" <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Although I am working on several other systems on the car, I need to make a decision on the brakes.

 

My front drums are about 15 thousand oversize, so I can get several more cuts out of them. I have yet to pull the rears, but new rears can be purchased.

 

I will be rebuilding the brakes complete. By the time I get new, stainless sleeved wheel cylinders and all new hardware I will be getting up there in price. {Note: if I stick with drums than I will have to get two cores for the front and send them out to be re-lined which will cost about $1500.}

 

The cost to change to disc would be in the end the same or less.

 

Now this car is for driving daily and will see cross country trips. Mountain driving. Highway Driving.

I know that some folks have used the AAJ kits. Has anyone used the SSBC or Leeds Kits? Or, has anyone used the expensive Magnum Force Kit (MFR161100)?

Mulling it over.

Also, if anyone has a set of the 11x3 REAR backing plates they want to sell, please let me know. I want to convert the rear to 11x3 from 11x2.5 inch shoes.

Thanks, James
