    Hello, I was wondering what the easiest and most cost effective way is to upgrade my car to power disc brakes?
    Thank you!

    You really don't need POWER disc brakes. I think you will find manual disc brakes work jut fine on a Maverick. It was be easier and cheaper to just go manual.

    I've had cars with both....I speak from experience.

    I second that. I went from drum to manual disc and the difference is amazing. Not to mention that you won't have to find a power brake specific firewall-to-shock tower brace.
