P.S. If I did do a conversion it would only be for the front brakes.
Thanks.

Default option 4?

Option 4: Upgrade to power disc brakes. You can get all the parts from a parts car or other supplier. Buy the booster and master new (ebay has good deals).

I was reading about piecmealing a kit together from a parts car, E:bay and auto stores but I'm not sure of the specific parts needed to do that. My mechanical skills allow me to do repairs and upgrades where all the parts are in front of me and I have a good set of instructions. So my best option for power disc brakes is with a kit upgrade. When I did a search on this web site I didn't read any good reviews for any kit. A lot of people had trouble with them. Now granted I can do some tinkering, but if I crash because I was tinkering I'm gonna feel stupid standing there at the pearly gates. How much vacuum is needed to run a power booster anyway?

After doing a little research I found that Matt's Bowties has a hydroboost front disc brake kit for $795. This appears to be a really good deal. Anyone use this setup with good or bad reviews?
