If you do the nut and bolt disc swap with emergency brake it is more money. Plus add the better pads and rotors and you are several hundred more. Their rear kit is $155 so I guess it is in line?
I am installing on a 73 Malibu Wagon that is a daily ride so I wanted something simple but reliable. Not going to get into the disc vs drum debate.
I had a Chevelle years ago with just the pads and shoes of theirs and it was pretty impressive for what it was.
Sorry to sound like a sales pitch but there is a difference between cheap stuff and better components. I do not shop rotors or pads by price. No cheapo parts in the kit which I actually expected.
The kit includes
Cryo front slotted rotors
Their pads
Bearings and seals
brake lines
master cylinder supposed larger volume?
rear brake hose
cryo treated drums
their shoes
complete rear hardware including adjusters
larger volume rear wheel cylinders
I am not brake scientist but they claim to have the highest coefficient
of friction beating Hawk and other performance pads? They do appear to be fairly aggressive compound. They will actually quote numbers of theirs and other pads. These are not $15 organic pads and shoes. I have used quite a few different pads so by next week we will see how she does after break in. I will give honest opinion.

10-16-2008 #2Nobody's starting a debate here, plus, its good to know what all the options are. I was just saying I feel your pain on the drum brake re-assembly.
So you're saying the $750 included the parts to do a front disc and rear drum rebuild? I don't think that came across in your original post.Jeff K.
