Re: [Chrysler300] Disc Brake Conversion for 300G

[Mark Souders <MRS954@xxxxxxx>]

Rick,
I used the basic kit from AAJ Brakes. After a few years of fighting brake fade and not knowing if or how my 300H would stop, I converted to front discs. I did not change the master cylinder, I wanted to have the engine bay look original. I did the conversion about 6 years ago, and I  have no regrets. My brakes work fine now with no sudden surprises when applying the brakes. The AAJ basic kit comes with detailed instructions and a list of items that must be purchased locally. AAJ does supply a complete kit but the freight charge to ship it across the country was more that a few tanks of gas to drive to my local NAPA store. I lost a little sleep knowing the calipers were for a 76 Monte Carlo, but after my first drive with the new setup, I slept like a baby.

Good luck with your project.

Regards,
Mark Souders
300H
Mohrsville, PA

Hello friends - After a few years of sitting in a garage, my brother Bruce's G 
as been revived. She's running fine, but after much brake work over the years, 
e've decided to convert to front disc brakes and a dual master cylinder. I know 
ome of you have already done this conversion. What has your experience been? 
hat parts or conversion kit did you use? Thanks for any insight on this you can 
ffer.
