Who makes the best manual disk brake conversion kits using the existing factory spindles. I have seen these kits advertised but can't remember where I saw them

If you have 14 inch wheels and want to keep them, you'll need to swap spindles.
For 15 inch applications I like the SSBC kit.
I used the Dr Diff conversion kit on my road runner. I wanted to keep my 14 inch wheels.

I got my kit through PST. It's from Leed Brakes (formerly GPS Brakes) and uses the factory spindles and will clear 14" wheels (which is why I bought it). It was $999 from memory for a power set-up, not sure if they do a manual version. I was converting from a manual drum set-up on a 66 Satellite. The install isn't finished yet but the quality seems very good.
I just went thru a mess trying to use a 72 charger caliper and spindle on my 68 after grinding and 4 trips to the parts store, I thought about all the denero going into stopping a 550 hp car, just ordered the 4 wheel disk wildwood kit. at least I got some more shelf ornaments.
I put the SSBC wheel kit on my Charger. Works with 14" road wheels no mods and with the stock 14" steel rims if you add a 1/4" spacer. Very good quality and easy to install. I'm using the same master cylinder I've had for years I think it's for a 70 charger with manual brakes.

My car had the front drums converted to disk from this company by the previous owner: https://www.mpbrakes.com/
We do have a kit for manual brakes that uses your existing drum brakes and will work with 14" rims here is the link. The kit is $849 but with the FBBO discount it is $764 with free shipping within the US 48 States
