Hi all,

I drove an EK sedan on the weekend. It was OK but the brakes seemed pretty dangerous....

I want to get an oldie that the wife can drive with confidence as well as haul the kids around and she would have had a heart attack in this one.....

What is the best and safest brake upgrade.....would just a brake booster be sufficient or is the HR front end disc conversion the best way to go??

I am assuming the car would be running a standard 138...

Also any ballpark figures on the dollars I would need to spend (thinking I would need to pay someone if it is beyond basic mechanics)

The car was pretty Ok apart from that but i dont want to smash my budget given it has some rust to contend with......

You might have bigger problems than brakes if your hauling kids around, read the link mate...

ball park IF you can do it yorself plan on spending i rekon minimum $800, less if yor lucky enough to pick up a front end that's fresh and ready to use

also consider that "legally" it would really need an engineers report there's another up to a grand
