What brake swap kit are you gonna get?

I've been pretty happy with my Right Stuff stuff. Not sure if they have any Corvette kits though.

I guess Corvette brakes are just Impala brakes from the GM parts bin. I could get a conversion kit for under $400 for an Impala (for some reason Corvette kits are twice as much) but I'm considering swapping 69-82 Corvette spindles for the OE 4 piston brake setup.

The cheap kits use a single piston caliper and a one piece hub and rotor. I've seen one piece hubs and rotors fail catastrophically, so I'm hesitant.

Frame is done! Just needs to be sand blasted again before powdercoat. I'm hoping to pick it up this week!

Anybody want to take the bet that the car is running and driving on the 4th of July? All I have is small piles of parts in the workshop. :lol:
