upgrading to disc: is it silly to just use stock Ghia parts?

[bean_8044]

dont drill non-vented rotors. Just get them heat treated and get a good set of pads

Thanks guys. I had misconseptions due to a guy I know who drag races who had his discs cross drilled and it seamed to work well. I do agree though about the cheeze grater. hahahahahaha. also I thougth Cip1 brakes were autocross brakes: that's what I want. The reason why I'm going that route with 1 piston galipers is because: 1st, I believe it's enough for a 1915 0r 1966 engine in a 850 pound car, 2nd it's less expensive when you buy it, 3rd less expensive when changing parts, 4th only one piston per wheel to service: less time, less money, less complicated. i will check with topline.

Lot of folks have purchased topline products.. to include myself..

Real good costumer service and parts are top notch..

I have pretty much everything except the brakes since I went a different route, and no regrets.. how it works on the road, well time will tell, as I still have her on Jack stands.. but quality is excellent..

With Topline I can only see disc conversion kits for SuperBs. Mine is a 1974 BJ... The interesting thing with them is that you don't have to change the spindles... but are the Super and Standard using the same spindles?

Also, does anybody have any information about the specs of their GT4 racecar?

For your beam bug, check out CBPerformance for a front end kit.
The topline plug was for joetech, he said he has a 73 super.
And no, super and std bug spindles a are not interchangable.

I just ordered Topline's disc conversion and will let you guys know how easy it is to install them. I am impressed that the kit comes with everthing down to the steel braided brake lines. I am also happy that there is no need to change my spindles.

Hey there!

Even though this kit has been used for many years now, it still is an obviously popular item. For fun, (and for the enjoyment of others) take pics and right your own step by step of the mod. They might just put it in the tech section.
