Default "Direct Fit" Disc Brake Conversion Kits

Has anyone done business with this outfit or know of someone who has? They have a 4 wheel disc brake conversion kit on E-bay right now for 65 thru 70 Pontiac big cars. Check this: Direct Fit Disc Brake Conversion Kit.
Looks like they are incorporating the Scarebird adapter and supplying all the rest of the components. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

yes, they use our lower components- but we do not make a setup for the 69-70 Darksiders...

Sorry for the multiple posts on this subject....this is my first posting although I have been reading the threads for a week or so. Scarebird...what do you mean by the 69-70 "darksiders"?

big cars are referred to as darksiders because they're not as common as the gto /bird crowd.

Mike...did you check the e-bay listing? It appears that the kit that they are offering is for fronts AND rears.

nope i didn't, my bad.

i just read your initial post and thought i'd ask scarebird if he was doing them. i'd rather buy something like this from a reputable member here than someone else.

that's just the result of what happens when i get multiple screens open on here while modding and get too much info running thru my mind.
