Calipers
The 58-64 Impala disc brake conversion kit contains all of the parts necessary to mount Black Powder Coated single piston disc brakes on your stock drum brake spindles. The caipers are truly the stars of this show, featuring a high performance cross drilled and slotted rotor that eliminates gases that build up between pad and rotor during heavy braking. Furthermore, these calipers boast correct for weight (WFW) mounting lugs as well as an upgraded directional brake cylinder; all of which will reduce brake fade and boost braking power significantly.
Finally, make sure you select the proper proportioning valve with an adjustable tee. This will enable you to split lines from your master cylinder and apply precise pressure to each wheel. Furthermore, ensure you choose an appropriate-sized booster for optimal braking without overexerting yourself.
Brake Lines
The 58-64 Impala disc brake conversion kit includes a set of forged stainless steel brake lines. These lines are the smoothest and most efficient, giving your car maximum stopping power.
Maintaining your 1960’s sedan’s braking system is one of the most essential elements in vehicle care. To keep it working optimally, be sure to regularly oil and fluid it with antifreeze.
It is no secret that your braking system needs replacing at some point, in order to keep your investment looking and performing like new. That is why we designed our 58-64 impala disc brake conversion kits with only the finest components and technologies available on the market.
Brake Booster
This 58-64 Impala disc brake conversion kit includes a brake booster to help your car stop faster and more safely. It works by amplifying the force of your foot on the brake pedal using vacuum pressure generated in your engine.
To activate the booster, simply press down on your brake pedal. As you do so, the brake pedal shaft moves forward and opens a valve on the back of the booster.
When you release the brake pedal, a spring snaps shut the valve and returns it to its starting position. This difference in pressure allows the intake vacuum to pull on the diaphragm, increasing force against the master cylinder piston.

A vacuum leak can cause serious problems with your engine. It allows air into the system and mixes it with fuel, decreasing cooling action, increasing friction and raising temperature of internal components – potentially leading to pre-ignition or costly repairs.
Master Cylinder
The brake master cylinder is an integral component of your car’s braking system, responsible for converting pressure applied to the pedal into hydraulic pressure.
This assembly consists of a housing, fluid reservoir, piston, return spring and rubber boot. This assembly fits into a cylinder bore machined into the center of the housing.
This bore creates hydraulic pressure that forces brake fluid through the caliper lines to the calipers, squeezing brake rotor pistons and causing your vehicle to stop.
