Sure, having a huge stable of horsepower and tremendous torque makes your drive thrilling, but the excitement ends when you can’t stop in time. Antiquated drum brake systems simply stop short on halting power. Ditch your drums and upgrade your vehicle with SSBC’s Disc Brake Conversion Kit for greater braking performance, better pedal response, and head-turning looks.
Everything you need to overhaul your brakes is included with your SSBC Disc Brake Conversion Kit. From the cast iron calipers down to the hardware, SSBC custom-builds your kit for a perfect fit on your year, make and model. Plus, front and rear brake kits are available for most vehicles.
Your SSBC Disc Brake Conversion Kit comes with 2 grades of rotors. Standard rotors feature a traditional flat surface, and Turbo Slotted rotors have grooves to vent heat and gas. Get the Xtra Life plating for maximum rust resistance and a lasting shine. Includes a 1-year warranty.
Manufacturer Info
Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation (SSBC) first pioneered the stainless steel sleeved caliper for classic Corvette and Mustangs back in 1975. We are the industry standard for high quality brake systems and components, offering a complete line of disc brake conversions and performance brake upgrades for classic muscle cars, late model performance vehicles, street rods and customs, trucks/SUVs and sport compacts.
Starting out as a small business, SSBC broke through the challenges many small companies face, and is now thriving in its 2nd generation of family ownership. Located in Clarence, NY (near Buffalo), the past few years have seen the purchase and expansion into an adjacent building, and the construction of a new Research & Development wing. In all, over 15,000 square feet was added.
As our motto, Braking Rules, states: Braking is the top priority at SSBC. At the same time, we?re breaking many traditional design constraints to develop new products. In keeping with that philosophy, we have and will continue to take steps to improve our capabilities. Some recent steps include:
- Successfully passing an ISO 9001:2000 quality system audit, bringing higher levels of standardization and quality control to our organization
- Installing three automated parts carousels and a modern shipping system, allowing us to quickly fill and ship orders
- Utilizing state-of-the-art CAD software for rapid product development
- Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to provide powerful design validation and stress analysis prior to manufacturing
- Purchasing a 3D printer that allows us to produce sample parts to check fitment
- The installation of a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), allowing us to measure product tolerances, further ensuring proper fitment and safety
- Replacing three outdated CNC machining centers with four new ones in 2004; another new CNC has since been added, bringing our total number to nine
These improvements give us design, testing, quality and manufacturing capabilities that very few aftermarket companies can match. We will continue to look at areas and methods to improve, enabling us to consistently provide high quality, high performance braking technologies.
Our signature line of Force 10 aluminum calipers was first introduced in the late 1990’s. These lightweight calipers greatly reduce unsprung weight, which improves ride quality. Most are available polished and all can be powder coated a variety of colors for added visual appeal. They are available in both front and rear kits, and come in single, 2, 3 and 4-piston configurations.
Our industry involvement includes membership in the following organizations:
SEMA - Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association
ARMO - Automotive Restoration Market Organization
HRIA - Hot Rod Industry Alliance
NSRA - National Street Rod Association
NCRS - National Corvette Restorers Society
In both 1999 and 2000, we were honored with awards in the Best New Product category at the annual SEMA Show. We followed that up by winning prestigious GM SEMA Design Awards in 2003, 2004 and 2005. We look forward to breaking through the obstacles of continued innovation and growth.
