Hello, I've researched and educated myself on brake conversions for this b-body.
I understand oem, off say 76 and up with some add hock other oem parts off the shelf would be very achievable.
I'm trying to weight he difference between a complete kit vs sourcing the change over parts from mopar from various later vehicles.
whats some real world experience from those who've dove into this is what im searching for.

to be clear, iv decided on the 11.75 rotors+cal(76 Cordoba),Hayes calipers and bracket for, master/p-valve to match.
Also contemplating rebuilding the lower control arms vs after market as i have the larger sway bar and require the rear mounted caliper. New uppers a's .
thank you in advance,

yes they do. im trying to weigh the options as there are many. after watching countless videos and articles on what oem will bolt on ,and those oem also have options as for caliper type and location,rotor sizing and the tough part, the spindle/caliper bracket marriage.
looking at going with hayes 2.75 pinned rear mounted calliprer with an 11.75(cordoba)rotor.
the spindles i need are 69-72 but the caliper bracket for 11.75 rotor spacing is the hangeup.

i was looking at speedways and others kits online....and othere then front caliper location and 11" rotor as drawbacks, are there any other negatives as the prices are fairly inexpensive
 
You can get 90% of what you need for a 10" rotor setup off an 80's 5th Ave...and they made a LOT of those.

I see 1-3 per year at the u-pulls around here.

As a bonus they also have 15x7 steelies.
