[Chrysler300] 300C Brakes !?

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recently there was mention of Disc conversion sotces for better brajes for 
early 300s, especially those fitted with dual cylinder front brakes.

I have just been using my 57 300 as a daily city driver for the last 6 
weeks, done maybe 2000 miles.

Have I got the only 300C with amazing brakes - I am just back to driving a 
late 70s 80s 6 Series BMW Coupe, and am shocked at how unresponsive the 
discs on it are comparted to 300 - like for example was turning into empty 
lane of two lanes when car in other lane cut into the lane I was entering.  
I should have driven his Toyota into a banana shape, but instead the 300 
stopped from about 20 mph in about 20 feet, and I could take in the Toyota 
driver's paniced face.  My car has linings that look to have copper in them 
- from 80mph the car pulls down so fast and true - isn't that why they had 
twin cylinders - or I am I just lucky mine work so well and with so much 
feel and bite - way more than later BM discs on a car designed to run 135 
mph.

And ps - those hemis haul like nothing else from 20 mph, get out there and 
drive them -you won't stop smiling for some time !!   Are discs worth it 
unless racing?
