Disc Brake Kits - click here

We’ve all got that friend; the one that absolutely refuses to remove the drum brakes from his car because  it “stops fine” or it’s “not original.” In today’s world of drivers glued to cell phones, computer screens built into the dashboard, and every other distraction under the sun rolling around in traffic, we need every bit of help we can get. CPP’s front disc brake kits are a matched set of components that make sure that if you enjoy your Tri-Five that you’ll be ready for whatever hazard the road can throw at you, with no guesswork involved, at a price most everyone can afford.

Any one who has ever had a 9” rear has experienced ear whine that almost naturally comes with it. It’s gear whine that almost naturally comes with it. It's something I’ve almost grown to love….almost. Not every car has a rowdy motor or a big stereo to drown the howl out though, so the folks at John’s Industries worked hand in hand with US Gear to offer a 9” gear set machined specifically for long life and quiet operation. By using revolutionary machining called “face hobbing,” the gear set has a more usable pattern, which gives a more consistent contact pattern. All of this leads up to a more usable, enjoyable Tri Five, and is exactly why John’s Industries is the exclusive 9” supplier for Woody’s.

I’m a fan of a big thumpin’ camshaft as much as the next guy. But I also like the ease of power brakes on everything I have. For the longest time, we were stuck choosing: a motor that creates enough vacuum to start with, having to run an ugly vacuum canister or pump, or simply going with manual brakes. CPP has since addressed this issue with their Hydroboost setup. This crossover from OE technology uses hydraulic pressure from your power steering pump, and needs no vacuum at all to make a manageable brake pedal.
