best disc brakes for sbp

K-H discs are great, but expensive. Stainless Steel Brakes rebuilds them and they are good forever with DOT 5 brake fluid. As for cheap, a lot of vendors make a lot of money from so called Frugal "A" body owners. If you make a quality product it will sell. How many threads are there here, looking for a good clutch for the original 9 1/4 and 10 inch scalloped clutch setup that will hold up to a stock 273 HP. Hope you take the time to come up with a good setup for these guys. I have mine. I don't buy cheap, I buy Performance.

I agree that K-H SBP stuff used to be expensive, but not anymore.

Earlier in this thread I listed sources for Centric rotors (available for less than $50 - and in some cases less than $30 each), and Centric also sells remanufactured K-H SBP calipers for $61 each ($30 core charge).

If you factor in the cost to convert to a LBP setup, including all the suspension pieces, and moving to LBP wheels, the costs add up quickly.

I've found in all my SBC K-H abodies (I've owned 5 SBC K-H disc 340 cars since 1970), the factory stuff holds up extremely well. I've autocrossed and drag-raced my cars and found the rotors stand up well to hard use.

Brake pads - there are many sources, the best I found were from Dick at Firm Feel.
