Im curious if anyone on here has done an all wheel disc brake swap on a First gen Riv. I'm looking at different conversion kits and wondering what would be the best way to go. Open to any advice or suggestions.
Scarebird makes them for the rear too but you gotta turn the axle flange down. I was just curious of what else everyone was running.
Converting the rear drums to disc won't get you much improvement in stopping power. 70-90% of the braking is always done by the front wheels. Your rear wheels will get dirty faster...that'll be the most noticeable change. I converted my front drums to a custom 2-piston solution for improved stopping power and easier maintenance. I haven't heard of any disc conversion setup for a 1st-generation Riviera.
I know the fronts do the most work, i plan on getting 17 inch coy wheels and want everything to match. Wilwood just released a front brake kit. http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Br...year=1963&make=Buick&model=Riviera&option=All I was just curious if anyone did a rear set up.
