Mopar Rear Disc Brake Co nversion Kit

The LEED Brakes Mopar Rear Disc Brake Conversion Kit (RC2001) transforms the stopping performance of classic Mopar A-Body vehicles from 1962–1974. This complete rear disc brake conversion system replaces factory drum brakes with modern disc technology, delivering superior fade resistance and consistent stopping power across extended driving sessions. The kit features 11.000-inch iron rotors with zinc-plated corrosion protection, engineered to handle the demands of both street driving and spirited weekend use.

The single-piston caliper design simplifies installation while maintaining adequate braking torque for vehicles in this weight class. Iron rotors provide consistent friction characteristics and excellent thermal conductivity, critical for managing heat buildup during repeated braking cycles. The zinc plating offers a practical corrosion barrier, particularly valuable for cars exposed to moisture or stored seasonally. Weighing 56.7 pounds, the complete kit consolidates all necessary components—rotors, calipers, brackets, and mounting hardware—into one shipment, reducing sourcing complexity for restoration projects.

Classic Mopar enthusiasts undertaking frame-off restorations or upgrading aging brake systems will find this conversion essential for improving vehicle safety and handling characteristics. The retrofit maintains original under-car aesthetics while modernizing stopping dynamics. Installation requires mechanical competency and appropriate brake line routing, but the component quality and engineering minimize fit complications common to generic conversions. This kit represents the performance standard for Mopar A-Body rear brake modernization.

LEED Brakes has established itself within the classic car market as a manufacturer of reliable conversion systems, delivering products that balance period-correct appearance with contemporary brake safety standards. The Mopar line specifically addresses the technical challenges of drum-to-disc conversion on first- and second-generation A-Body platforms, where brake geometry and spindle configurations demand precision engineering.
