Nope you don't have it right. at least not for me anyway
what "all this work"? ohh the hard part of removing the studs from the hub and redrilling the rotors using a paper template or redrilling the hub to 4.5 and not drilling the rotor. yeah real hard.
When you do a swap even with mopar parts it's piecemeal. There is no benefit to using older stuff that is getting harder to find for about the same cost AND you have to change the upper control arm,spindle and lower ball joint, plus UCA bushings on the mopar swap to be safe and then you have to align it. So I'd say there is more work doing the mopar swap than the adapters that fit on the 9 or 10" drum brake spindles /hub. no alignment needed there
this kit or at least the adapters give you the option to put easy to find parts from the autoparts store on you car. it gives you the option of not using the stock setup for about the same price as you would pay for older used mopar parts. It also gives you the option to go either LBP or keep your SBP by drilling the rotors.
and yeah they do work great, at least the last 4 sets that I have put on different cars and been able to keep track of.
I know you can get the rotors and calipers for stock mopars. but they will probably have to locate them and then ship them to you taking more time. you can go to the parts store and have the part either in stock or sent to the store next day at no extra charge. sure beats waiting a couple days for a part that might be available for a few more years.
I have done the 73-up disc conversion and have had to wait days for parts.
I put in the labor because I am on a budget (and impatient) and wanted to have easy access to replaceable parts if I was to break down on the road. others have different opinions. mine is different than yours and the original poster probably has a different one too!
