Default Front Disc Conversion Options

I'm putting front discs (only) on my '64. My current intention is to go with the VBP conversion.

http://www.vbandp.com/C2-C3-Corvette...rsion-Kit.html

I definitely want an OEM type setup, not a willwood conversion etc.

Before I pull the trigger, are there any better options for me out there - is my VBP decision a good one?

A cheaper option may be to use the parts from a 65+. Just get everything between the ball joints.

Thanks. Does anybody sell that as a kit?. I live overseas, so gathering parts is logistically difficult..

Put this kit on my 64, as did a few other forum members. Fit perfect. You will need a M/C.
