wilwood rear brake conversion

-
I have done it with strange brakes...

green bearing is what is needed...

look at your brake lines...if you use the stock steel...going to need adapter ..

going to need safety wire also with wilwood brakes..the hub is bolted to rotor and safety wired...
 
did the car come with a disc/drum set up from the factory?
 
it is a 72 demon and from what i understand it was drum all the way around...the dana that the brakes are going on is not original and not in the car yet
 
reason i ask...our 71 duster had a disc/drum set up..now has 4 wheel disc..the rear pads were wearing at a fast rate...seems the proportioning valve was causing it...now got a distribution block...

ok...good luck
 
I have the Wilwood setup for the front. I will be adding a similar kit to the one your talking about for the rear as soon as I can find an new/newer one second hand. If not, I plan on buying new for $658 here: [ame="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wilwood-Rear-Disc-Brake-Kit-Mopar-Dana-Green-Snap-Ring-Drilled-81-Rotor-/191277257228?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c8903520c&vxp=mtr"]Wilwood Rear Disc Brake Kit Mopar Dana Green Snap Ring Drilled 81 Rotor | eBay[/ame]
It's for a 2.36 offset. Going with black calipers will save you $100. I know some people much prefer the red ones. I like them myself, but not with my green body color. I'm going to the ends of the earth to avoid red on anything.
The Master cylinder size comes down to manual vs. power and disc vs. drum or combo disc/drum. My research lead me to buying a 7/8 Wilwood master and their proportioning valve as I am going manual w/discs at all 4. In general, smaller for manual and larger for power. After a lot of research, I will tell you that it can ultimately come down to experimentation. Especially if you have a strong preference for soft vs. stiff pedal feel and long vs. short travel in the pedal.
I did buy the same Wilwood in a 1 1/8" version, good for power, before doing research. It's new. If your going power and need one, let me know.

In my opinion,rotors are too thin for street use...great for racing.

I'm not extremely well versed in appropriate rotor thickness for street vs. strip use. The ones he is looking at and the ones I plan to use are .81". What size do you like to see for the street?

.81 should be fine for street use, just not the thin .35 for drag racing.....I found this out when I was going to run the Strange front disc brakes. They are for racing only.
Look on Ebay, there are tons of rear brake conversions, that are for street use, with heavier rotors.
