I know, I know, I am offloading stuff out of the shop, but I need to get my father-in-law's car "brake worthy" before I leave. Anyone using this?

It seems like a good deal, but I was wondering if anyone on the site is using this current setup in their car. I have a 55 Ford Fairlane - was this a pretty straightforward install? How did the unit hold up?

Do some research and you'll find that drum braks stop faster than disks,.Go with hard linning and a bower booster.

In the 50s there was a booster mounted on the inner fender on FoMoCo and GM cars that my have been a dealer add on, I can't remember the who made it but it was simple to install and worked very well.
