Rear Disc Brake Conversion Kit with 11-Inch Drilled/Slotted

The Jegs DBK9LX is a rear disc brake conversion kit engineered to enhance the braking performance of classic Ford vehicles. Specifically designed for pre-1980 Ford passenger cars equipped with 9-inch rear ends, this kit offers a significant upgrade from outdated drum brake systems to more efficient disc brakes, thereby improving stopping power and overall vehicle safety. Key features of this kit include 11-inch drilled and slotted rotors, which are crucial for superior heat dissipation and enhanced braking efficiency. The kit comes with single-piston cast iron calipers that incorporate an integrated parking brake mechanism, ensuring reliable and responsive braking performance. Additionally, it includes braided stainless steel brake hoses for durability and optimal fluid flow. This conversion kit is compatible with a wide range of Ford passenger cars from 1957 to 1978, including models like the Fairlane, Thunderbird, Galaxie, Falcon, Mustang, and Gran Torino, provided they have a 9-inch rear end. The rotors feature a multi-pattern bolt layout accommodating both 5x4.5" and 5x4.75" bolt circles. It requires a minimum wheel size of 15 inches and will not fit 14-inch rims. Installation notes indicate that the included brackets and flanges are designed to fit common 9-inch rear end sizes. However, users should ensure their axle flange diameter does not exceed 6.1 inches, as larger flanges may require modifications. For optimal performance, a disc/disc proportioning valve with a 1-1/8" bore master cylinder is recommended. Professional installation is advised to guarantee the best performance and safety outcomes.
