Manual discs or power??

My car has manual drums now. Going to change it over to discs. What would you recomend.... power or manual?

If power, then where could I source the parts from?

 

i like manual disc brakes just as good as power, but i got a big foot for extra effort

if u wanna go to a power brake setup, get with maverick_maniac

 

I would do power but read this thread:

This is the numbers you want. I got the 9786 with mounting studs 1 1/2" longer. Already got it mocked up on the Comet. Fits great even with mechanical clutch linkage.

9782 Power Brake booster / dual piston Master cyl. - Combo - Disc/Drum
9786 Power Brake booster / dual piston Master cyl. - Combo - Disc/Disc

 

Thank you very much... that was a good read. With that set up, do you need to change the bracket under the dash or anything like that?

 

Thanks for the additional info. That will help a lot.

 

I dont have my bracket in the car but as I recall you probably have to drill the threads out because the original bolts through the firewall from the outside. The new booster has studs so you will need to put nuts on the inside.

 

I guess I will just trow all my factory power brake stuff away !!!!!!!!!

 

I would. That shock tower brace is horrible!

 

Yea its a pretty stupid design but there is always the purest who wants factory stuff. One sure way to need it is to throw it away.

 

this is some of the most painful wisdom you will gain. i cant tell you how many good appliances i have had to re buy after they were thrown away due to lack of use.... the only other way is to set it where you cant find it until after you have replaced it....
