Disk brake performance survey
If you have put disk brakes in your Toronado, please tell us about your conversion and how the car brakes now compared to the old drums.
Thanks.

'66 headlights - How fast

Thanks.

Re: Kanter disc conversion kit
I'm in the process of retrofitting the front and rear brakes from a 75 Eldorado into my '66 Toronado. I will report with the results soon.
