A 1964-1972 Pontiac GTO on its original drums stops the way it did when it was new, which is to say not great by today's standards. This Right Stuff kit converts the Pontiac GTO to hydro-boost front disc brakes and is built around a 2" drop, so stance and stopping get sorted together, with hydraulic assist that runs off the power steering pump instead of engine vacuum.
Why It's Worth It
- Hydraulic assist doesn't depend on engine vacuum, so it suits big cams and low-vacuum engines
- Application-specific for the 1964-1972 Pontiac GTO
- Application-specific kit rather than a universal setup
- Engineered by The Right Stuff, converting drum brakes to disc since 1989
Before You Order
- This is the 2" drop version; stock-height cars need a different kit
- Confirm your lug pattern and that your wheels clear the calipers before ordering
- Hydro-boost requires a power steering pump and pressure/return lines to feed the unit
- Pre-bent TRS brake line kits are available separately to finish the conversion
- Bleed the system and bed in the pads after installation
