I've got the SSBC kit on mine, make sure you spend the extra cash and get a power kit.

ssbc has so many different kits and options on their website. but so far they look to be the best kit.

also why do some kits say no need to change brake pedal, but others come with new brake pedal etc.

is the installation hard to change over to power discs?

i dont know which one to order. esp that the previous owner did some work already on the car, so i dont know whats stock, original or changed. the brake cylinder looks aftermarket. not sure what splin my rears are, im pretty sure i have an 8" rear diff. which i thought it was a 9"

ssbc looks like a good kit, but i liked what blueovalboy posted with those cobra brakes. i like the look of those calipers. ugh so many decisions
