Ever used this kit

I am getting ready to install disks on my 65 c10. I ran across this kit online and was wondering if anyone has ever used it? Thanks

Don't know that brand, but I used an Early Classics kit on my 64.

Thanks for the replies. I guess my question is for the price is it worth taking a chance?

I don't know about that. Even with huge cost difference, just not sure if I would trust them without more research. Just mt $.02.

Not sure about the quality for that price. The EC kit cost me $759. I was very pleased with the quality and customer service that I received from them.

Re: Ever used this kit

I priced everything out on Rock Auto piece by piece and all the brake parts came out to a little over $300 These were for 5 lug rotors not 6 and not including spindles. I would use the ECE spindles that are $269 if I remember right. So how can you get all that for $450. Sounds china to me.

Re: Ever used this kit

The McGaughy kit is absolutely the way to go, you won't be disappointed. I have used different brand kits on different vehicles and the McGaughy kits are the best fit, some kits require modifying the spindles or control arms to get full movement.
McGaughy kits just work great with no mods.
