Hey guys I was wondering if any one has bought one of these kits or have hear anything good about the kit I was looking at the power disc kit.
Here's the link
From what I have heard they are great and you would be disappointed. I do not have them yet but will in the near future. Great customer service and I believe a proud sponser of this site.
I bought mine from them,. dennis is very knowledgeable and will help you if you have questions. kit comes with everything right down to the grease needed.
you wont be sorry
mine was 1969 front power disc system from manual drums
you need to replace the brake pedal if your going from non power to power.
If you have a standard shift then you have to remove the clutch pedal to remove the brake pedal. I spent more time under the dash then i did replacing the brakes and rotors. I am very happy with my power disc brakes, glad i did them but did not feel that way when i was twisted like a pretzel up under the dash.

Reason: added info
You haven't been on this forum long enough, otherwise you wouldn't have had to ask that question. There has to be almost one post per week about the quality of those kits or Chokostang's kits.
Best price on the best kit going, just do it, you wont be sorry.
I went with the manual and LOVE IT! Unless you have a heavy big block car (not easily possible to get a 65 car that heavy) you just dont need the booster.
My wife drives our car hard, and she has no issues with the manual brakes, and she is a tiny thing.
I just had it installed on my '66 along with new suspension. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet. Looks awesome though! Do a search on the forum...you will find a lot of info.
Currently installing the 'swap1' kit. Have swaped over the drums for rotors and that went smoothly. (Hardest part is installing the damm dust caps!). Plan on installing the MC after I get a chance to paint that area of the firewall. Hoping to have MC installed by Friday/Saturday and then will begin reconnection of brake lines and prop. valve.
Highly recommend this vendor and their products.

So is that a yes or a no?

I wish they did a "Big brake Kit" I want something along the lines of cobra brakes... or just a performance upgrade over stock replacements.

CSRP, SSBC, Chockostangs... really haven't heard ANYTHING negative about ANY of them. I think you'd be happy with any of them. Give Dennis a shout @ CSRP - he's seems like a pretty responsive guy. Note the kit you linked says Auto Trans...may be because of the power booster.... I'm sure they have one similar for manual trans if you ask.

Thanks. You are correct, the auto trans limitation applies only to kits that include a booster. The listing is confusing. I'm revising the website at this time and will address this.
