mopar380 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 AAJ Brakes in Portland, Oregon - www.aajbrakes.com makes a complete, simple disk brake kit for all Chrysler Forward Look cars, 1955 - 1962. I recently bought a set from them for my 1962 Chrysler 300. It is a very simple unbolt the old and bolt on the new stuff. The guy designs these specifically for these cars. No other kits are as good as these for these cars. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WPC car shows are judged by people's choice, not a panel of judges looking for originality etc. so its not that important in our own club. Some members prefer completely stock while others like upgrades such as disk brakes etc. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
