Anyone want to offer ideas or opinions on a fair price for the parts to convert my '63Coupe' Dart small bolt pattern, 13" wheels to big bolt pattern disc brakes.
I'm negotiating for a set off of a 76 Dart that includes the rotors, spindles, upper control arms and calipers.

Well, if it all is in good shape and you are getting all the parts, including the rear axle, I would offer $300-400. ALways lowball and see if you can haggle.

The small bolt stuff goes for $3-400, the big bolt stuff I wouldn't pay more than $150. At least that is what I sold it for.

That completely depends on the condition of the BBP stuff you're getting. Are you going to have to replace everything like rotors and calipers or is it ready to go on your car. Figure $200 for core stuff, maybe $300 if its swapable on, and then the rear for $100 would be great. If you can get it for $400 and its ready to go, you're in great shape.

IF you need to replace LBJ, UBJ, Rotors, etc that's going to run you a few hundred more. =)

Thanks for the responses, but I guess I wasn't specific enough! I was referring to just the front brake parts. The rear axle will be another project at another time. A car club associate's friend has the parts I mentioned in my first post, and I am hoping to make a fair offer before someone else does. Thanks again, and please continue!

i paid about $80 for the spindles, rotors and calipers for a aspen/volare from a junkyard. i got the upper control arms off ebay for $40. pads were good so i just put everything on as is. worked great except for brake squeal. drives me nuts.

i had to put upper and lower ball joints and lower control arm bushings in also which was another $150.
