1955-57 9” FORD REAR END DISC BRAKE KIT

Article By Randy Irwin

Rear disc brakes can be the icing on the cake when it comes to a brake system. They don’t put rear disc brakes Chevettes but they do on Camaros and Corvettes. It’s all about getting that horsepower and speed stopped in time. Putting disc brakes on the rear not only shortens the stopping distance, they look terrific through large diameter open wheels. In this article we will install rear disc brakes on a new 9” Factory drum brake rear end that the owner wanted to upgrade. We also offer rear disc brake conversions for the stock rear end as well as GM 10 and 12-bolt rear ends.
