      Ford 9 inch disc brakes

      I am looking at a 9" rear for my fathers '55 Chevy and was wondering what disc brake options there are.

      The current brakes are terrible (GM single piston/10" rotors up front and stock rear drums). So Ive been nudging him to get a C5 setup up front, and now that he is getting this new rear, maybe an LS1 setup for the back? Id like to be able to get the parking brake to work with not too much modification as well. He has 18" (Coys C5) wheels, so clearance shouldnt be much issue either
      I think he will be getting the big bearing style rear, and the axles will be drilled for the 5x4.75 bolt pattern. Other than that, I dont know much about the rear.

      What disc setup would you recommend to go with a C5 front?
