    Rear Disc conversion super noisy?

    I am using the stock master cylinder for manual brakes and it stops great, yes I did remove the stock retainer plate, I am pretty sure you have to.

    Yeah they are the GM calipers. I used brake squeal spray and tightened the pads by bending the ears so they fit tight onto the caliper. The sound is not a squeal it is really really loud whir and vibration rattle.

    Rear Disc conversion super noisy?

    I just finished a rear disc conversion on my 69 Valiant with an 8 3/4 rear end. I used a kit from Right Stuff and it all went together very easy. It makes a super loud noise when you apply the brakes normal, when I hit the brakes hard it is fine. It so freakin loud it is embarrasing. I have...
