Just saw this on EBay for sale. Anyone used this. I have a 67 FB with JC Rally's and am curious if I can keep my wheels with this kit. I understand the 68 FBs used JCs with disc brakes so it seems it should work, what am I missing.

Those are Camaro specific calipers and hose brackets, but should work on a FB if you use Camaro hose brackets on the frame. You may also want to get the preformed steel lines that go from the caliper hoses to the distribution block. There is more info on 4-piston calipers here: http://1967firebird.atwebpages.com/fourpiston_brakes.php

Thank you for the info, nice page. I'm most concerned about wheel clearance. Does anyone see any issues there.

Update on my brakes. After getting the crap scared out of me with some idiot pulling out in front of me doing 65, I opted to upgrade even if it meant new rims. I bought Inline Tubes kit based on the 69 Firebird. They went in perfectly other than I had to grind off a small amount on the bracket (no structural impact), so I was able to keep my JC Rally wheels. OMG what a difference, it brakes like a new car. My only regret was not doing this sooner.
