about to pull the trigger on a scarebird kit

Treblig said
I read a lot of good things about "scarebird" but the one main reason I went with b-body spindles (73 Charger) and stock type rotors and calipers is that I depend on my car for daily driving. I bought of pair of good used LBJ UCAs here on FABO. If the brakes need work my "daily driver" is down :( ..... until I can order and receive the parts I need. But with stock stuff I can run down to the local auto parts and get what I need (immediately) for a good price.
So, for me, it came down to......do I need the car everyday or can i afford to have it sit while I wait on parts??? If I can afford to let it sit then the after market stuff would make more sense. Most of the modifications I make to my cars is based on whether I need it daily or if I can let it sit for a week or two waiting on parts.
I built a '46 Chevy for my son and he drives it every day (non stop) so I need to be able to get any part for it right away. The car I built for my daughter ('59 Studebaker Silver Hawk) is also driven every day to school or work so it's important that it can be fixed quickly. My '69 Barracuda is no exception.

so you went big bolt? the OP wants to keep small bolt...

other then the mounting bracket (if that breaks then there is something seriously wrong..lol) and having to redrill a rotor all the scarebird stuff is common (more common then mopar) over the counter stuff. scarebird sells the redrilled rotors and i'm sure you could have them in a few days.. probably tells ya in the directions what rotors they are and you can probably order and drill them cheaper then the ones they sell.. if it was a DD then i'd just buy 2 sets or rotors (the part that will take a little more time) and keep a set on the shelf just incase..
