Performance online disc brake conversion kit

If you're trying to re-use the original lines, yeah. If you use a factory style prop valve and just order new lines it's a lot easier. More expensive, of course. But when you try to re-use stuff and start mixing and matching factory and aftermarket parts a lot of things can go sideways. And if you have original lines I'd just replace them. They make look ok, but as soon as you start taking stuff apart you'll find frozen fitting and brittle lines, even if they look decent.

DoctorDiff sells new lines too. For a disk brake conversion he can be a one stop shop, from factory 73+ stuff all the way to 13" rotors with Viper calipers. And you won't have to safety wire your hubs together, or be stuck with one of like 3 or 4 rim styles that have a hub bore larger than 3" like with the Wilwoods need. They work, but honestly they're not the best stuff out there anymore. They've been trading on their name for a long time, I think their advertising budget and sponsoring all the TV show stuff is the only reason why they're still popular. It isn't because they have a superior product.


I have to agree with the comments on brake lines. When I redid my car for the second time, the brakelines looked perfect on the outside, but when I was removing them to redo the car, the lines pretty much crumbled in my hands! I guess corrosion was occuring from the inside out as the car had sat for quite a long time. Wake up call for me for sure. Also, Wilwood has a lot of competetors now and there are certianly more options available. The one thing that kept me with them was their service which I found stellar. I am hearing a lot of good things about Dr Diff in my area so I wouldnt hesitate to use him either. Actually, Im using his services to redo my 489 differential.
