Brake advice
I have been reading the posts on drum to disc conversions and am not sure which way to go. I just bought a 70 cst. Why not just put 72 stuff on it? I don't mind going to 5 lug. I guess I would change the rear axles also. If I did would it just be the spindals, calipers, rotors, MC and propor valve. I assume the control arms are the same. Any advice appreciated

Re: Brake advice
72 fits well but replacement parts are more expensive. The reason to use 73-up stuff is because of the price of parts plus if you use the control arms you will have rubber arm bushing slightly better ride.

Re: Brake advice
Does the 70 not have rubber bushings in the control arms? And what are the pros and cons of 5 lug or 6 lug?

Re: Brake advice
I recommend the 73+ due to the rubber bushings and cheaper parts that are easier to work with. It used to be that 5 lug was recommended due to the wider variety of wheel styles out there, but not so much anymore-alot more variety in 6 lug nowdays.
