I too was considering going with disc brakes after seeing Sam's setup last year as I felt a need for better stopping power but decided to go back with original after Sam saying he could do another set for around $4000 if one set ordered--- $2000 if 20 sets ordered.
I guess I spent under $400 doing the cylinders myself and sending off the linings to Gord, also if any one wants to use the VW bus master cylinder from anyplace for around $20 i
t works fine, you just have to taper the end of push rod an inch back form tip removing about 1/16 on each side, doesn't weaken anything as the original only touches the piston at the very tip just as the VW one does.
Soooo do disc brakes work ten times better than stock, mine work fine now, as all is back the way they should be but having said that, yea they still aren't great brakes.
Sam's disc brakes are works of art, if anyone wants disk brakes and has their wife's credit card number, go for it and give us a report.</font> </font>
