Porsche brembo caliper brake swap for 473$

Mopar muscle did a rear disk conversion on a '73 Dart Sport and checked the stopping distances between the rear drums and rear disks from 60-0. Their result was that from 60 mph factory disks up front and factory drums in the back the car took 133 feet, 6 inches to stop. After the rear disk conversion, the stoping distance improved to 122 feet 4 inches.

The online article is a total mess now, probably something with being converted over or moved to Hot Rod when MM was bought out. The final distance used to be a caption on the second to last picture, but I don't see the captions popping up anymore. The hardcopy article is easier to follow, but that's the way it goes.

Now, there are other differences here no doubt, tire compound, road surfaces, driver input etc all make a big difference which makes comparing two different "at home" kind of tests hard to do. But the numbers you're getting are A LOT better than what Mopar Muscle got. And their stock numbers are pretty close to the factory published numbers I've seen. I'll have to look it up but somewhere I saw a drive test article from back in the '70's on a Demon that put the stopping distance around 125 ft if I remember correctly. I'll try to find it.

***Edit***
Here's a Road Test Report on a '71 340 Demon. Not the one I was looking for, as this is a drum/drum car. Neat stuff though. The stopping distances were absolutely abysmal, for anyone that says drum/drum is ok on the street today. The Road Test guys said they expected a 60-0 of 155 to 165 feet. What they actually got was a stopping distance of 169 ft, on a 3,250 lb car with E70's. That was their "best" distance, not an average of their results but a one off. Their Demon had 10" drums and a power booster. They did say their road surface wasn't ideal, but dang.

kick ***!!! Thanks for the posts! Hindsight truly is rearing it’s ugly head right now. Wish I would have tested the stock stuff. Because I could have duplicated some of my testing variables to make a good comparison.

Got the idea to do the swap and jumped in head first with blinders on lol
