My cars are 1970 2+2's and a Parisienne. All have the Chevrolet / Canadian Pontiac disc brake setup that was used 1969 & 70. Rotors were once hard to find, but Centric makes them.

I've heard of other guys that have gone for other kits to upgrade their 65-70 Chevy/ Canadian Pontiac B-body cars to disc brakes, but all have had problems.

 I'm not sure what wheels you are using but one thing to keep in mind is you have to run 15" wheels on B body disc brake cars.

Heres a couple pictures of the 70 Chevy Caprice system on my 68 Parisienne. Its a nice upgrade. Even the master cylinder bolts right up to the original brake booster.
