Re: Disc Brakes!

[William Cole <wedge64@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan or other members,
Yes, I have the A body front disc brakes and drum rears. My car doesn't
stop worth a damn. What the problem is I don't know. I have to push my
butt off to get the car to stop. I have the manual brakes btw.
Everything is new that I installed. I just thought that if I get a kit
that is made to work with each other, I may have better braking.
I just wondered if the spindles are the same or not to save some money,
(if they will sell me a kit less the spindles).
Thanks for the info.

Bill C.
