Drum brakes with a Disk / Drum MC will do that.

I found the EBC yellow brake pads grab a lot better than the typical street pads. They work on the street while cold but are good on the track when hot.

EBC Yellow pads work great.

The Ram Man out of Texas has them.

brakeperformance.com has an assortment of high quality SBP rotors.

Stainless Steel Brakes sells a drum to disc conversion for the SBP. They use the KH OEM style 4 piston caliper. 4 Piston Front Kits

Two things to check: bolt pattern, 4 or 4.5 inch and will a 14 inch Rallye fit over their caliper?

I got a pair of rotors from brakeperformance.com. They vary $140 to 170 a pair with pads. The slotted and dimpled units work great on the road courses.

I have had that problem with the OEM KH brakes. Make sure the rotors are clean. The pads can make a huge difference. I switched to EBC Yellow pads and they grab a whole lot better. Ran last night at Pocono with racing pads and they really grab.

Check with John at [email protected]. He has new drums machined down to fit. I bought a pair and they work great.

That's great. No need for bigger rotors or rear discs and spending big bucks. Now any plans for upgrading the engine, LOL.

Firm Feel has a performance set. They worked well on the street for me but got cooked up at Watkins Glen. That's when I switched to the EBC yellows and added Brake Performance slotted rotors. It works great on the OEM KH calipers.

EBC yellow pads will make a huge improvement. They really bite.

Post the info, I will grab a set too.

Have you lubed the front end with a grease gun? Sometimes the ball joints dry out and start binding.

SSBC used to sell a hub in their drum to disc conversion kit that had both bolt patterns on it. It might be available as an individual part. Try SSbrakes.com for a phone number.

Check for leaks. Clean the rotors and replace the pads. Make sure the vacuum line and the connections are good to the booster.

I have a manual, so that is in neutral. When I lift and brake at speed, I see up to 24 InHG. I use to get that with the smaller cam, even though it idled at 19 InHG, so braking is the same at speed.

I like to have 14 InHG vacuum at idle. If the car has a manual transmission you can get away with a little lower.

Wow, those are huge, what size wheels and tires? When is the track event?

These kits are for the 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern and require green wheel bearings.

Stainless steel brakes rebuilt mine twelve years ago. They sell new ones now, i don't know if they still rebuild them.

I see rotors are available without the hub. Has anyone tried mounting a new rotor on an old hub? Ehrinburg says it would then need to be trued up by a machine shop, maybe not, the run out would be easy to check after mounting.

Does anybody have any experience dealing with the Ram Man (theramman.com)? He now carries OEM style A body rotors and I am considering a pair.

I was wondering the same thing. They might help keep oil from the motor hitting the rotors, but as far as rain goes there is no shield for the outer side so why have them for the inner. I have them on but maybe they should come off for the road course.

The spindle is a larger diameter so the bearings have to be bigger too. You will need the larger castle nut also.

I had the same problem. I put in new shoes and springs. Pads and shoes are Firm Feel's metal ceramic. Even with bigger tires they would still lock up. I added a proportioning valve from SS Brakes and dialed it down a half a turn at a time until they stopped locking (3.5 turns total). I spent...

Autozone carries them for $25 each.

Talk to Dick at Firm Feel. His pads and shoes are really good.

SSB has them (Stainless Steel Brakes)
