Bigger Brakes for a Big car?

[Stg1Regal]

At the shop where I work we have a 70 Buick Electra 225 convertible.

It's a 4 wheel power drum set up, the customer wants to go to 17's and 4 wheel disc brakes.

Any recomendations? any kits that you know of?



Thanks

how much money does the customer want to invest?

We've done a few kits for the 1965-1970 full-size Buick's in the past, but of course no two have been alike. Is the plan to run the original spindles and rear axle under the car or will the brakes merely be part of a full pro-touring package? With 17" wheels, you'll be limited with respect to rotor and caliper size, however a base level C5/C6 kit may be a decent option for both performance and cost.

Yes that is correct..... stock spindles and factory rearend are going to be used.

Although not for Pro-Touring. Just running bigger rims .. maybe 18's.

Either way still want decent brakes.

Let me know what you can do.. thanks
