      65' Impala Disc Brakes?

      I have been a lurker here for a while and thought I would see if anybody has suggestions on a front brake kit for my Impala. Background: I have purchased the Strong Arms from air ride as well as their sway bar, (very cool stuff) and had purchased drop spindles and a big brake kit from CPP. Upon installing everything, there is not enough clearance between the large ball joint that is on the Strong Arms and the steering arm on the spindle. After contacting air ride, they said using a drop spindle with their kit is overkill and go back to the stock spindle. That being said, does anybody know of a good brake kit for the '65 Impala? I kept the rear brake kit from CPP that uses a 12" rotor and dual piston caliper. Here is a pics of the Strong Arms with the front kit from CPP before I returned them, I thought that was going to look pretty cool. Already have the Rated X wheels on order from Driverz Inc.

      I have 19 and 20" Rated X rims that should be arriving any day now. Unfortunately I still do not have a front brake set up yet, leaning to a Baer 13" front. Thought I would have time to work on the rear this last weekend but it was not to be. Here are some pics of the rear brake and bracket that 63 Impala asked for.
