So, today I am working on the brakes of my 62. Standard 4 wheel drums. Brake pedal won't budge in the slightest. Upon further investigation found that the brake cylinders are rusted solid. I was going to upgade everything anyways, just wasn't going to do it this soon. I would like opinions as to recommendations on upgrades. I am going to update to power disc brakes in the front and would like to install 2 inch drop spindles. Does anyone have suggestions? I am looking at doing the entire front suspension at the same time. Not interested in the front clips. Any favorite companies I should look into?
Thanks for your suggestions

I'm going to have to agree with BM. If you are not going the route of a complete front sub replacement then CCP is the route!!!

Along with the CPP lower control arms you could also upgrade to a bolt in rack and pinion from Church Boys Racing. CPP sells arms for this conversion. Here are a few pics of what it would look like on your car.

You will not be disapointed if you go with the CPP arms and the Churchboys rack setup.They work very well together.
