It may surprise you to find out that the original poster of this thread has 9” drum spindles. So it’s VERY relevant information for him. This isn’t about you.

I like the Wilwood kit for a few reasons....It can retain the 5x4 bolt pattern and it doesn't push the track width (only .20) like the 73 and later set up. I have a 69 Valiant I am wanting to convert to disc and a 74 Dart Swinger that is a factory disc car. It was difficult getting wheels to look right on the 74.

Wilwood is a brake manufacturer. Most of the kit companies are just sourcing chinese parts (not that most brakes bought today at your local parts store aren't chinese).

All I have to say about this is what I’ve already said. The Wilwoods require a wheel center bore of 3.050”. That prevents using all of the factory SBP wheels. It also eliminates most aftermarket wheels. So, if you’re using the Wilwoods to keep your SBP, you had better verify your rims will fit over a 3.050” hub. Not many do.
