I can not get a straight answer on weather I should restore the old break system, which I am told is not worth it.  So do I ask drivers do I convert my ?320:?

I plan on putting Disc's on both my 320 and 223's...
safer that way...

I'm probably going to keep the drums on the back though so I have an ebrake...

Stock 320 brakes at best are mediocre.  Mine are in as good a condition as they can be and I still make sure I leave more of a stopping distance than when I drive any other car.  If anyone ever comes up with a bolt on front disc conversion, I'm interested.

From what I've seen with my 320 and the 223, the spindles look like the same bolt pattern as the 521's..
if that's the case, then Beebani's or Fineline's Disc conversion brackets will allow us to get discs on our beloved rigs...
I'm going to get a set for my 521 and then I'll be able to mock them up and see for sure on both rigs...
I'll keep you posted when I get it done.
