CCP a-body disc brake conversion...any good??

the only concern is if the calipers mount on the front or back. That is really only a concern if you have a sway bar, otherwise doesn't really matter.

I like this kit because it has the Upper control arms. Original upper control arms that are not bent are getting pretty hard to find these days.

I think I am going to try this kit on my 63 valiant wagon.

Yup, I know about the swaybay end links possibly hitting, on my 66 I have them to the rear too. I know what you mean about the upper control arms, used they run about $200 on eBay and up to $300 for tubular arms or new stock replacements. I found a few used disc brake set-ups and they want close to $300 without the arms, plus more to ship...I think I’m way better off to just get new parts. I swapped all this from a 73 Duster into my 66 Valiant and it was easy, had to get rebuilt calipers and new rotors but I already had the parts so it was easy. I do know if I move the calipers I need to use longer brake hoses from a Volare or Aspen, I had to on mine.

BTW Rani, a 63 wagon? Cool...I remember when you didn’t care for the early-a cars...welcome to the dark side lol
