At what point did front discs become standard equipment?
Can I assume that a '72 lemans has discs up front, or was GM still shipping drums up front standard in '72? -Mike

No, '72 LeMans did not have disc brakes as std equipment.
In '73 A bodies received discs as std equipment. Totally different rotor & spindle

My 72 has the optional front discs... thank god. I love them. They perform very well with the modern brake pads of today.
