Installation Tips

This kit is not applicable to the original 1949-54 Chevy spindles as the spindle must be machined and modified to allow for the installation of this kit.
If using steel wheels with this kit, you will also need to purchase (2) steel shims part 835-3007500. These shims will prevent steel wheelsfrom galling the aluminum hub.
When using this kit with a tube axle, you must use flat steering arms. 15" minimum wheel diameter for all kits.

Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate our product for its quality and functionality, significantly improving the braking capabilities of their vehicles. One standout feature is its perfect compatibility with Chevy spindles. However, some users have raised minor issues concerning the reuse of the grease sling washer, requiring further solutions. Although some hear an odd noise during braking, others didn't observe this and considered it not problematic. One significant compliment is its comparable braking power with Mustang II brakes, implying consistent performance and reliability.

I can now stop my ls turbo powered gasser. It was pretty sketchy before this upgrade. However, the one issue with this kit is the grease sling washer that you are told to reuse from your old setup. It will not work with this kit. Once you screw down the dust cap it hits the washer and will lock the hub up from excessive pressure against the bearings. This was also stated in a previous review. Speedway, do you have a fix or replacement washer that will work for this kit? Other then that I have no complaints.

Not as advertised, kit has drilled rotors not undrilled as pictured. Don't tighten dust cap or you will lock up the hub. Use silicon sealer on dust cap threads and screw in one turn only and you are good to go. Will make odd noise during braking. If you don't mind the odd noise during braking, then no problem. May have to change brake hose. I did not. Braking power over Mustang II brakes about the same but the Mustang II brakes are silent.

2 or 4 piston brakes for none power brakes I don't want to add power brakes to my 23 T bucket. Would the 4 piston brake work better that the 2 piston with manual brakes?
