Anyone Have Epirence With This Jeggs B Body Front Disk Brake Kit ?

[Auggie56]

Do the front tires remain there original center line track placement ? Some kits I have had experience with the tires end up setting out side the normal track.

Stay away from the jegs conversion, especially the calipers...cheap junk! Spend the money and go with a Baer or Wilwood setup.

I did a similar swap with the Mopar-style upgrade. It's okay if you're just tooling around, but if you really want to get a good front disc upgrade get something like Baer or MP brakes.

I did the front and rear (the rear would fit the 15 cop car wheels with a thin spacer) but the front will fit stock 15" wheels

I'm not a fan of these large rimed low profile wheel and tire set ups. But I'd love to find a set of the cop rally wheels, if that's what it takes to add disk brakes to this car.

Thanks gentlemen.

You don't need the cop car wheels for the front Rallye kit from Master Power brakes, they are for 15" wheels. the rear is supposed to be for 16" wheels, but I found out they worked with the cop car wheels for a four wheel disc conversion. The stock 15" steel or alloy wheels should work fine for just the front kit.

Thanks for the input.

I have heard good things from a friend who did a scarebird.Com swap. They have a kit that includes a brace and some fittings, you buy rotors for a Lincoln, calipers from a Chevy rear end and it all is supposed to bolt together for under 300. I am currently looking into this swap.
