Default Help Need Advice on Wilwood Dynalite Pro Series Front Disc Brake Conversion

Hi All,

I am writing this thread hoping to get some opinions and feed back on an upgrade I am planing on doing to my 70 chevelle convertible. I want to still be able to run my 15 inch rally's but want a solid front end brake system without braking the bank. I am planing on installing a big block and want the car to stop well. I have been told to look into the the dynalite pro series from wilwood I have the summit link below.

From some online reading I noticed that the 4 piston calipers on the dynalite series have some flex in them and a couple people are not too happy with them...i don't know if that was because of their install or the actual product. Also some of the reading i did said that the dynapro was a more ridged product because it is forged versus machined?

My car has 4 wheel drums now with no power and I was planing on installing a power booster and new master cylinder as well. I also read people having issues with stiff brake pedals with power boosters.

I have also looked into the CCP brake kits and this kit caught my eye and included both front and rear disc brake kit

I know there are other chevelle owners that have been through this on their car and I would like to know what would be the best front disc brake set up under a $1250 budget. Can any one give me some good advice on this subject, I am sure I am not the only one interested in this upgrade….

Thanks for your time and reading my thread!

Mike G
