I haven't Done it yet because my 69 is still in the paint booth. but from what I hear VV is pretty good only thing with that kit is it comes with a spacer that sits between the hub and rotor.<br /><br />Also, you can still use ur original disc dual master cylinder if not you can use the 99-04 master cyl But, you have to re-direct the brake tubes since the flanges are facing the engine side and not the frame. <br /><br />If I were to do it all over again, I would go with the Kesley Hayes brake setup, its cheaper and its a 4piston caliper. u use the 11" rotor but its still works well. the Boss 302 T/A had these.<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/370323881694?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1916wt_956" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.com/itm/370323881694?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1916wt_956</a><br /> <br /> <small>[ February 03, 2012, 05:51 PM: Message edited by: rwcstang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
