Chokostang or CSRP

[chewy1234]

I have a 65 FB, V8 auto, and am looking to convert the front drums to power front discs. I would like to go with one of these companies because I would like to keep my original rims with the disc brake setup. These are the only two I know about. I also want the ability to get 15x7 rims later without having to change brakes again. Is one disc brake system better than the other and what is your experience with each? Thanks for you opinion in advance.

Don't know about Ckokostang from experience. But Dennis at CRSP we have dealt with a ton. Get anything from just spindles to complete kits. Very good people. Never had a problem, so I HIGHLY recommend.

I recently put a CSRP kit on my '67fb (courtesy of Daze @ www.dazecars.com) and I'm very happy with it. Service from both Daze and Dennis was great, and Dennis answered a couple questions I had regarding the kit very promptly. I'd heartily recommend the CSRP kit

would recommend CSRP also.... we did it on our 68 and it went pretty smoothly.

I'm running the CSRP set-up on m 66 coupe a nice way to go for the money. I was impressed with the service and the quality of the parts. Easy swap to do and replacment parts are available at the auto parts stores. One thing to note if you are running a stock styled wheel you may need to turn the nose of the new rotor down as the hub of the Granada style rotors are a larger diameter.

I'd recommend the OE KH-style disc setup rather than the Granada or 68+ conversion for 65-67 cars. It's a direct bolt on (aside from some tube bending), doesn't require changing spindles, and will clear with 14" wheels designed for disc brakes.

I have the chock-o-stang kit. I actually live about 30 miles away from them and went and picked up my kit in person. They were very helpful and the kit worked great.

I agree with the above on 5 lug 65-69 cars, but I still recommend the Granada kit for 65-66 4 lug because the Granada kit includes the 5 lug spindles.

FYI, I'm working on 5 lug 26 spine axle replacement for 6 cylinder 65-66 and 67-69. I'm also working on the long awaited drop spindle, and reproduction 5 lug 65-66 and 67-73 spindles, all with the large spindle pin.

The developement of a front SN95 PBR type 2 piston aluminum caliper and 1.025" thick 11" diameter rotor for Granada spindle is coming along well. Unlike the Cobra and SN97 brake conversions offered by others that have the calipers, brackets, and rotors laying 1-2" or more outboard from stock position, this set-up will reside at the stock position. In fact, I'll even offer dust shields.

about the drop spindles i have that ssbc setup, it would be incompatible with the large pin wouldnt it
