Hey List -
Well, since my 427 SBC project looks like it won't be done
anytime soon, I've decided to upgrade my Chevelle to a 4-wheel
disc brake system while it is still in the shop. I've been
looking at kits from Master Power Brakes, Global West and
Stainless Steel Brakes, and I've pretty much decided to go with
the SSB kit with 12" front rotors and 10.5" rears. The SSB kit
uses the original drum brake spindles, which is good because I
don't want the ride height of the car to change. It also has an
adjustable proportioning valve that a lot of the other kits on
the market don't have. Problem is, I want to be at least
*reasonably* sure that the 12" rotors will fit with my 15x7" SS
cragars. I called the tech line twice, and of course I got 2
different answers! The first guy said I need at least a 15x8" rim
for the 12" rotors to fit, and the second guy said that they will
work with the 15x7's with (worst case scenario) some minor
caliper machining. Does anyone else have experience with this
kit, or any other 12" kit out there using 15" wheels? I know
several of you out there are using 12" front rotors, and I
thought at least one person had them with 15" rims (Rodney in
AZ?). Any advice/problems encountered/experiences with this or
any similar kits (or 12" rotors in general) would be greatly
appreciated. TIA.

POWER!!!)
