I have a 69 Camaro with manual drums all the way around! I am wanting to upgrade the breaks, and only have the 15" rally wheels on the car.

What I want to make it a power break system, upgrade the front breaks to disks, and leave the rears as drums for down.

I need to do this on as little cost as possible but with a good quality product. I am running stock a-arms and spindles at the moment.

I have considered upgrading to a drop spindle while doing the breaks as I am currently running lowering springs and shocks as of right now.

Can you guys help me out and give me a ballpark on what I might be spending with these upgrades?

Thanks in advance!

My ride as she sits...you may see the reason I want the drop spindles up front.

I went with the front SS4 Plus system from Baer. I used a manual master cylinder. It fits behind 15" Rally Wheels. It is about a grand.

MasterPower Brakes in Mooresville has several options. I actually think that they are black labeling bear calipers on some of their stuff.
Never used them, but did look at them before i bougth the Baer kit.

Good luck. Nice car BTW!

Also look into drop spindles and why they are bad
