disk brake kits for 69 442

hi, i am looking into a disk brake kit for a 69 442 cutlass. I will be putting on after market rims, 18in. on the front and 20s in the rear. I know i will need the extra stopping power, so is 13in. disk enough or should i go larger.

Also what company's beside baer breaks make conversion kits...?

thanks, Ben

You might have better luck searching for BRAKE kits instead of break kits...

Do a Google search on 'GM "a-body" disk brakes' and you'll find many sources.

I will be using C6 take offs front with a combo of LS1/C6 in the rear. For new and inexpensive you might look at Kore3 and Touring Classics. Both make nice kits for a lot less than Baer.
