Hi everyone! I am currently looking to do a full brake and suspension upgrade on my 57 chieftain. I’m looking to change to full disc brakes all around and looking for some coil over springs for the front. I’m leaning towards staying with the kingpin in the front, but am open to something that will make it handle better. As far as a brake kit goes, the car currently has manual brakes so I’m looking for a complete overhaul. Can anyone recommend a complete kit or a place where to get one? I’ve been searching online and can seem to find one of hat comes with everything. Thanks again!

Thanks for the links! Have you ever dealt with either of these companies? On the first link it says no power booster needed for power breakers and no master cylinder, I’m sure I’d need at least a new master. Does anyone know of one for a disc brake update? Thanks
no experience, just searched like this https://www.bopparts.com/1953-1959-...r-brake-booster-and-master-cylinder-unit.html they also list disc kits at $1099 each for front or rear
