All,
As I continue to resto-sort out the Schwinger I'm now at the point of doing brakes upgrades. I have a few questions so I'm as prepared as possible.
The car is a 73 Dart 367 cubie with factory discs and big drums on a 8 3/4 rear end.
My plan is to upgrade the fronts to a 11.75 setup, pretty straight forward right?
I have settled in on a plain Right Stuff rear disc conversion kit. 10% off now til Monday with free shipping! 420.00 plus tax.
My main concern is the bias from front to rear and how to best address it or do I need to be concerned with 11.75 in the front with EBC pads and 10.5's in the back.
I have read that a new or adjustable proportioning valve might be needed or just modify the factory piece by removing a restrictor? What is a real rule of thumb here?
Also concerned about e brakes, the kit comes with cables that are correct with no fiddling and etc? Is that true?
I am replacing the hard line front to rear and the kit has new soft lines.
I know that this has been covered quite a bit and appreciate everyone's input. To include Drums are good enough lol.
Thanks,
Marion
