Help me decide...quick. Power brake kit.

[Laker]

Hey fellas, I am going to order up a power brake kit for my 70, I would like a liitle advice on which kit I should go with? I would imagine that each vendor provides a good product, however for the same price some come with brake lines and some dont. I am keeping the drum brakes as is too. Just want a good drop in kit that has everything I need and is a proven good unit.

I will be ordering here soon and having it shipped to a location in the US and will be bringing it back with me after a visit there.

Thanks

I would say skip the power brakes and go hydroboost. Takes up less space and works far better. The only issue it may be too strong for 4whl drums. I have 4whl disc and its far better than with the booster set-up. I'm sure someone will chime in with drum brakes

I like the toms kit....comes with a bigger booster than the others.....works great...

If you must go power brakes, go with Tom's. The only real power brakes out there. f you can afford it and have power steering, go hydroboost.

Ditto... with Chevy Disc brk conversion

Thanks guys, sounds like the Tom's kit is good bet. I plan to keep the drums for a few more years before switching to discs.

You'll get better performance with a non power disc over power drums, I'd look at more front disc kits.

Tom's does have a 1" larger diameter booster and you might have to dent the inner fender in order for it to fit. If you don't then the 9" booster depth is less than a 8" booster in turn giving you the same amount of vacuum as a 8".

Toms Kit with Front Disc works great. However, next build has the Hydroboost ready to install.

no complaints with Toms kit with 4 wheel drums (that are working properly). I agree with others that the hydroboost set up is the best along with disks but I am always pretty happy with power drums.

I did the no modify kit....as well as the disk brake upgrade....idk my brakes work just fine I don't see the need to go hydro boost but hey everybody has there fav rite....good luck

.. I'm a Red Neck. So I say forget the power brake just spend your money on a Chevy Disk set up. and if your not totally satisfied at this point go with the Hydro Boost. ''the best''.
