conversion to disc brakes

#1 Post by Donald Pirch »

The drum brakes on my 1960 356B just don't get it done in stopping the car in emergency situations - scary as the brakes don't lock up at all. My mechanic Jack Staggs says he has done all he can, but says the material on brake shoes is the real cause as the "good stuff" is no longer available.

Are there good conversion kits out there for my car and who handles them? Is there a better way to make my brakes work better? Help please.

Don; you need to post this in the regular Talk section. This is for questions about the site and all that jazz.
