    Hello,

    I just joined today. I inherited a maverick for my daughter to do high school drag racing at my local track. I am very interested in finding out the best disc brake converion I can do at a resonable cost. Hope to get great ideas from everyone.

    Welcome from Va,Granada discs work great,& you can even buy drilled & slotted rotors for them.Unless you are going to go extremely fast,you don`t need aerospace or willwood,save your money,the granadas will do the job.:dancing:
