There are more expensive disc conversions but I used the C. B. Performance one and have had nothing but great results. I was told that it is uber critical to observe torque values to get the best outcome. C.B. said that any problems have been because this wasn't done properly.

Whichever brand you get, get a couple of sets of break pads at the same time. If you can find out which pads they are---C.B.'s were off some year of Miustang---so you can find them if you need them in the future.

Good luck!
