Help me make sure I have everything for my drum to 9 bolt PBR swap.

I'm going from a 87 Drum 10-Bolt to a 89 9 Bolt with PBR disc breaks.

I'm replacing the entire brake line kit since it's original while I have everything out.

This car is my fair weather car/auto x.

SS hard lines from Classic Industries:

  • FRA8601S 1986-92 F-BODY REAR AXLE BRAKE LINES REAR DISC WITH BORG-WARNER HD AXLE SS

  • FIN8601S 86-92 CAMARO/FIREBIRD FRONT TO REAR BRAKE LINE KIT STAINLESS STEEL
This set is a lot cheaper then the one from Classic Tube kit here http://www.classictube.com/shop-onli...ategory_id=413

Am I missing something or is there a reason to go with the classic tube kit instead?

Braided Lines
:

Russell Street Legal Brake Line Kits 692370
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-692370 (Will the front lines work for my future front upgrade?)

If anyone else has any suggestions let me know on this front.

1LE Brake Valve will be installed.

Will my drum parking brake work or will I need something different?



In the future I'll be putting Front LS1 brakes or bigger, will I need to change my master cylinder or should I?

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please let me know.

Where brakes are concerned, the 9- and 10-bolt are the same. That said, the following 10-Bolt FAQ should provide some answers:

That answered my parking brake question.

Anyone have opinion on parts? Any other suggestions for hard/soft lines?
