I have the 8.75 rear end and converted to the larger 1970 Charger rear backing plates and hardware. Between that and the Wilwood disks in the front it's a huge improvement in stopping power.

LOL, That's what I used to say. I used to have to use the dragster return road.

You won't be sorry, it will make a huge difference in stopping power, even with manual brakes like mine.

I did exactly the same thing. Also upgraded to the Wilwood master cylinder. I had the original Kelsey Hayes disk brakes but these stop WAY better than the Kelsey Hayes ever did. Just a note if anyone has to upgrade from the Kelsey Hayes to Wilwoods, you will have to downgrade your spindles and...

Sorry but I sold the whole deal a long time ago. They were taken off of my car in perfect shape and I think I sold the entire setup for around $300.00.

Converted mine from original Kelsey Hayes discs to Wilwood. The Wilwood rotors are dual pattern. If your concern is that you have SBP wheels and maybe want to run BBP wheels later this is your answer. Plus they stop a whole lot better.

I also have the Willwood kit installed on my car. They have been on for a couple of years and are working flawlessly. It is normal for the pads to rub the rotors, you have nothing to worry about.

Have the Willwoods on mine. They work great especially while some ignorant chick in a Lexus pulls into your lane (head on) to get around someone that's stopped!

I converted from my original KH front discs to a Wildwood setup. They work fantastic but know that you will need to get a set of drum spindles as well as drum lower ball joints because Willwood doesn't make a kit to go from KH to their discs.

I did the same conversion ( KH to Willwood) on my '69 Dart. I had to purchase the complete drum setup. I used the drum spindles and I purchased new lower ball joints. As far as I can remember that's all I used from the drum setup. I also wound up buying the Willwood master cylinder as well with...

I used the Wildwood kit. It can be set up for large or small bolt pattern. This leaves you the option to go to bbp later.

Ya know, I put a Wilwood kit on my '69 and I had the newer mid 70's master on it and it was worse than my original Kelsey Hayes discs were. I upgraded to a smaller piston Wilwood master and it was a vast improvement. Also I had to get a adjustable piston rod for my master and it had to come...

I used a Wilwood kit on my Dart. I originally had the kelsey Hayes disc brakes on my car and they didn't make a kit to go from disc to disc so I had to install drum brake spindles and lower ball joints first. Anyway the kit that I installed had the rotors setup for SBP or LBP. This will enable...

Yes there is a way. I swaped my 4 piston Kelsey Hayes sbp disks for Willwood bbp disks but there is a catch. Willwood only makes a kit to go from sbp drums to bbp disks. All you have to do is swap the sbp spindles for a sbp drum and add the lower ball joint for the sbp drum (about $20.00 from...

Just out of curiosity, and the fact that nobody's asked. Do you think that this setup is going to change where the wheel sits in the wheel well? As my car currently sits I have the bigger B body drums on my car and the wheel offset makes the tire very close to the wheel well lip. If it would...

Thanks Andy, I'll try that.

Hi Guy's Has anybody used the Wilwood disc brake conversion kit (P.N. 140-2723-B ) to convert to BBP? Here's my problem. My car was originally equipped with the 4 piston Kelsey Hayes brakes. The system worked okay but because of the need to convert to BBP and the desire to have improved braking...
