I was wondering what you guys think think about the CPP Big Brake conversion for the 69 Camaro??

Do you like it and how well does it work?

I got a complete price from Matt's for it at $2240.00 shipped including booster and disc spindles..

And the Baer kit for the same was $3000.00 shipped..

What do you guys recommend??

Thanks

What type of Baer brake kit are you getting for $3000?

Not sure but it was 13" front and 12"? rear..

Do they have different models??

Lots of folk here have used the Touring Classics kit. It uses brand new PBR calipers - the same thing used on the C5 Corvette (front) and 93-97 Z/28 (rear). Baer uses the exact same calipers on some of their kits. (Not sure which Baer kit you're looking at)

Noel is as nice a guy as you will ever deal with, and excellent customer service.

What CCP big brake kit? I didn't see one on Matts site.... As foru the Touring-Classics stuff they are the same as some of the Baer, C5 and C4 front and rear. I have them on mine and very happy with them ad the service I got... Al and I are not the only ones using them.

Yes they do and the prices can vary drastically. As DjD mentioned, the Baers and Touring Classic kits are comparable in price if you know where to shop. These two kits, along with Wilwoods, have been used by many members here with excellent results.

Frank,
Does that price include spindles for the front?

Thanks

It includes new hubs, no spindles required. It uses your originals.

I have the 13" CPP kit on the front of my '69. I already had a disc rear conversion. The CPP kit works good, and most important for me, it did not offset the wheels from the factory front disc setup. (I already had 18" x 9" wheels on the front). Only minor problem I had was that I had to put a shim on each caliper to get it aligned parallel to the rotor. The kit also worked well with my existing 1" manual master.

I have the CPP front and rear big brake kit and I have never had a problem with it. Very happy with my decision to use it.

I just got off the phone with CPP and they said that the kit does move the front wheel out 7/8..

Can anyone give me a definate answer..

i think they move your wheel out if you have drum brakes to start with, otherwise, it's about the same with replacing stock style discs.

Hello, the Baer kit we quoted includes a new Booster/Master/Prop kit and a complete bumper to bumper hardline kit!

Dennis, when did this turn into a "plug" forum? I know anytime I even come close to "Advertising" I hear about it!!

Thanks

Matt
