I put a set on the TA and will be going with them on the front end of the SS in the next month or so.

I got mine from Summit Racing.

Are you guys using OEM calipers? I have a 71 goat with the OEM semi-metallics and can't say I am impressed with the stopping power I have at the moment. Do they need to be bedded or is an install and go deal?

Both mine are the OEM D52 caliper. Pretty much all pads need to be bedded to one extent or another no matter what the claims.

Go to the Summit Racing site. A lot of GM cars used the same front calipers in the '60's and '70's but it will depend on your car. For my TA the p/n is HB103 F.590
