If your 1970-1972 Monte Carlo pulls, fades or needs a long run-up to stop, a disc conversion is the upgrade that changes how it drives. This Right Stuff kit converts the Monte Carlo 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 1970-1972 Monte Carlo
- 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
