Suggestions on front disc conversion kit - 1st gen camaro

[sam86]

I'm needing to redo the brakes on my 68 camaro and decided to just do a front disc conversion. A couple things to keep in mind...

It's going to be a street car, so I don't need anything crazy.
I'm also on a budget.
I'll be running a 17-18" wheel at the largest on the front (15" for a while until I'm able to get what I want)

What kits do you guys recommend?

I would do a C5 conversion. I'm converting mine and slowly collecting the parts. I'm kinda working on two projects at once on a budget as well. I started with a conversion kit from-
http://www.customworksperformance.net/brakes.html for my second gen TA using LS1 calipers and C5 rotors. But I plan on keeping the TA stock for now and using the kit and parts for my 69 Camaro. I've looked at this kit from Kore3-
http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10103-01 and even though the initial cost seems a little high, its all new parts. You could buy the parts as you can afford em if you really wanted to.
To me, if you spend $500 on a regular disc brake conversion, you might as well save a little more cash up and get the big brake kit and probably never need to upgrade again unless you plan on competing at some level.
The down side is you need bigger wheels too to clear the brakes. Buying factory style 17 and 18's will save you a decent amount too and get you rolling. I'm using '03 17" and 18" Z06 wheels with 2" and 3" billet spacers. I'm still collecting parts for my car but this is the way I'm headed. I hope to have it rolling in the near future. Hope this helps.
Later,
Mike

Kore3 is where we source all our disc conversion parts, I just ordered a rear disc set up for my 67 Firebird that has c6 z51 front brakes.

C5! But you'll need wheels

C5 conversion can be done for $1000 front AND rear tho so leaves you money for wheels/tires
