Disc Brake donor vs Disc Brake kit....

Doing my dad's Chevelle this weekend. Will be finished tomorrow. 2 days work which included new bushings and ball joints, etc. We got the SSBC kit for his car and it's a breeze. Personally, I would use the donor stuff since you already have it.

I went with the SSBC kit because I wanted to keep my SBP wheels, I still have the option with my front rotors to move up to the BBP. In the rear I would have to get new axles and BBP drum backing plates. You are already set with 8 1/4" rear depending on what you plan on building.

The SSBC kit is going to run you about $900. Then add a new rear-end. Costs about $75-100 to completely rebuild the brake drums on the rear. So you are looking at $1,000+ if you go the kit route.
