dart discs

[paolo_mangusta]

fitted SSBC on my Dart, wouldn't recommend it. Mine aren't too bad now, but that's after a lot of grief - for nearly a thousand bucks they are a lousy product. The pads they supply are useless, so I spent a lot of time thinking there was another problem until swapping out the pads after seeing someone recommend it on another forum. The master cylinder isn't the best size for a non-power application, so there's a lot of pedal effort. And the pricey adjustable pushrod didn't fit at either end - I could understand it not fitting the pedal maybe, but they'd sold me the master cylinder so you would have thought they could sell me something that fitted their own product. I ended up making my own pushrod using the SSBC threaded section with the original Mopar ends, but if I was doing it again I definitely wouldn't be buying anything from SSBC

Miles the spindles for the viper disc conversion you have to use are the later 1973 on drum spindles (rocking horse poo) Im sure that Longshot has the pre 1973 drum spindles

They will also fit earlier A body cars if the upper control arm is also changed to the ’73 or later style..
Viper brakes the way to go, better assortment of pads and readily available spares

Have a look at that massive pile of brake parts that Dunc's got, I'm sure you'll be better off using Mopar parts, even just for ease of matching master cylinders, choice of pads, calipers etc, let alone being a Bananarama! load cheaper
