1965-70 Chevy Impala, Biscayne, Caprice Brake Parts
The 1965-70 Impala, Biscayne, and Caprice offer several ways to build the braking system around how the car will be driven. Explore front and four-wheel disc conversions, power brake systems, larger rotor packages, master cylinders, hydraulic controls, calipers, lines, and supporting brake parts for these full-size Chevy models.
Brake Options for 1965-70 Chevy Full-Size Cars
For a 1965-70 Impala, Bel Air, or Biscayne, brake upgrades can change two things the driver notices immediately: how the car stops and how the front end sits. POL’s collection lets you make those changes independently or as part of the same build.
A car can keep its current stance and still move into front discs with D154, D52, or Wilwood caliper configurations. Change the spindle, and the project takes a different direction. Drop-spindle systems lower the front while adding disc brakes, with 13-inch dual-piston packages pushing that combination further for cars running larger wheels.
Some builds continue through the rear of the car rather than stopping at the front axle. Complete front-and-rear power disc systems offer that route for specific Impala years, while separate components let you expand an existing brake setup without starting over.
With more than 300 products, the collection also serves as a source for the pieces between those larger conversions: boosters, Hydropower plumbing, master cylinders, proportioning hardware, brake lines, fittings, and related components. The result is a brake category that can follow the build from a straightforward front-disc change to a lowered, four-wheel-disc system.
FAQ
How do I choose brake parts for my 1965-70 Chevy Impala, Biscayne, or Caprice?
Start with the exact model and year, then identify the braking and suspension components currently installed. Check whether the car has drums or discs, the spindle configuration, rear-end type, manual or power assist, master cylinder, and wheel size. This collection contains several different conversion types, so current hardware and the direction of the build should guide the final choice.
What front disc brake conversion options are available for a 1965-70 Impala?
POL offers several configurations. The selection includes 1965-68 conversions using D154 or D52 calipers, a Wilwood-caliper front conversion, a 1965-70 drop-spindle system, and a 13-inch package with dual-piston calipers and drop spindles. Compare the year application, spindle arrangement, rotor and caliper package, and wheel requirements before choosing.
Should I choose a standard disc conversion or a drop-spindle system?
Consider whether changing front ride height is part of the project. A standard conversion lets you focus on the brakes, while a drop-spindle system combines the disc conversion with a lower front stance. POL offers a dedicated 1965-70 Impala drop-spindle disc brake conversion, so suspension plans should be considered before purchasing the brake components.
When should I consider the 13-inch Impala disc brake conversion?
The 13-inch system is a larger brake package that combines 13-inch rotors, dual-piston calipers, and drop spindles. It can suit a build where larger front brakes and a lowered stance are being planned together. Because of the increased rotor and caliper size, confirm wheel diameter and internal caliper clearance before ordering.
Can I convert my 1965-70 Impala to four-wheel disc brakes?
Yes. POL carries front-and-rear power disc conversion packages for applications within this generation, including dedicated 1965 and 1966 Impala systems. If the car already has front discs, rear brake components can instead be selected around the rear end currently installed.
What power brake and hydraulic components are available for these cars?
The collection includes power brake booster components, vacuum hoses and fittings, Hydropower hose kits, master cylinders, proportioning and combination valves, residual pressure components, brake lines, and related hardware. Match these parts to whether the car uses disc/drum or disc/disc brakes and whether assistance comes from a vacuum booster or hydraulic system.
What should I check before ordering a complete brake conversion?
Confirm the exact year and model, front spindle arrangement, desired ride height, front and rear brake configuration, rear-end type, master cylinder, brake-assist system, wheel size, offset, and caliper clearance. Also check what the individual kit includes. POL sells everything from conversion brackets and hydraulic components to complete front-and-rear power disc packages, so the additional parts required will vary by system.
