My 72 is a drum front end. Im looking to upgrade. I have seen several complete front end kits and disc conversions from Ausleys, Eastcoast Chevelles etc. I want to do u&L ball joints, tie rods, springs, shocks and up grade to disc. Also have seen the tubular control arm set ups as well. I'm going to use the car as a daily driver. Is there a kit with everything thats is reasonably priced? Any recomendations to do's or dont's?

I got my kit from Ground up, and it included everything but the hard brake lines. Also got those from them.

Performance Online Parts on Ebay has some reasonably priced complete kits (some include hard lines also) with the option of stock spindles or 2" drop spindles. I was looking at these kits when I was pricing out doing the same on the Turtle.

You could also buy a 4 door car and take the brakes off it.

Ground up has some nice stuff. I guess they all do, if you have the money. So there is not one company better than the rest? Seems like they are all competitivly priced.
