Looking for a front disc set up for my 1970
Cutlass right now I have drums, I was wondering if I
should just buy a set up on ebay or just buy a used set they sell for the same price please help

 

I would get original if possible and then rebuild the components as needed. Some of the after market are fine, but some not so much. The concern I have always had with after market is that some of the parts are for their specific setup ONLY. Down the road, if you need parts or pads or a rebuild, will all of the parts you need be readily available without ordering the wrong thing. If it's factory, the parts and components are much more likely to be readily available with much less chance of getting the wrong parts.

 

Brown7373 thanks for the info, now only if someone in il or close had some for sale please some one help the drums scare me it feels like they will never stop in time I had them checked afew times and they say they are all good, do I have to change the control arms on the drums or just the spindles?

 

In Line Tube makes a good factory style kit for a fair price. Previous owner of my car did the installation, but I would do the same if he had not.

 

I have a complete set I just pulled from a 70 monte carlo. I am in indianapolis. Call me if you want.
Thanks.

The control arms will be fine. Just pop the ball joints and change the spindles. You also want the master cylinder and proportioning value. The best deal IMO is a donor car. Just swap everything including the lines so you don't have to re-bend your old ones. Replace the rubber lines at the wheels with new ones while you're at it.

 

Cool, now only if someone as a set laying around
at a good price

I thought I read somewhere that you can use spindles and disc brakes off the B body cars of the mid 90's...and have larger discs. Correct me if I'm wrong please...
