This all-in-one package is designed specifically for 1955-1957 Chevy passenger cars utilizing their stock spindles, combining the premium Legend HP disc brake kit with a new power brake system for enhanced safety, reliability, and an easy pedal feel.

HP Performance Features:

This kit stands out with key upgrades for enhanced braking performance and durability:

• Slotted and Drilled Vented Rotors: The 11-inch vented rotors are slotted and drilled for improved heat dissipation and pad performance, while a zinc wash finish provides corrosion resistance and a sharp, aggressive look.

• Braided Stainless Steel Brake Hoses: Replaces standard rubber hoses with durable braided stainless steel lines, which resist expansion under pressure for a firmer, more responsive brake pedal feel.

• Ceramic Brake Pads: The kit includes high-quality ceramic brake pads, which offer superior stopping power and less dust.

Power Brake Conversion for Effortless Stopping:

Converting to a power brake system is a significant upgrade for driving comfort and safety.

• 8-inch Dual Diaphragm Booster: Delivers a significant boost in braking assistance, resulting in a lighter and easier pedal feel.

• 1-1/8 inch Bore Dual Reservoir Master Cylinder: A new master cylinder provides a complete dual reservoir system for modern safety, drastically reducing the risk of total brake failure.
