Brake upgrade

[dadep76]

Hi, I have a ‘73 charger se and front disc brakes are in need of upgrade. What does anyone recommend?

What is wrong with the factory brakes?

Whats wrong with them? Do they need to be turned?

Fresh rotors and pads?

needs rotors and pads for sure and wanna do new calipers and lines

RockAuto has some selection for drilled and slotted rotors etc..
*Don't forget to order new grease seals for the rotors and I would just clean and repack the bearings and re-use them.
While you're at it I would change the rubber line over the rear differential as well. You're over 50 years old if that one is original.
I like to switch over to synthetic fluid but that's a separate discussion.

Ok cool. I’m gonna look into that. I’m gonna do what it takes to make her safe and get it done.

Factory disk brakes are plenty safe.
