TURNER BRAKE

When introduced, the Avanti may have been America's most advanced automobile. However, the front disc brakes have always left a lot to be desired... Since purchasing a 1963 Avanti in May of 1979, I had been experiencing trouble with the front disc brakes. Some of the problems were premature wearing out front pads, pulling to one side then the other, and squealing, A good solution would be to improve the brakes and eliminate these problems by using a brand "X" brake set-up and have it bolt on to the stock Studebaker spindles!... But every manufacturer is different in design, so this became a big problem. I then met Curt Hamilton. Curt has been manufacturing disc brake kits for street rods since 1963. After experimenting with different rotors and calipers, and with many weeks and hours of research and development. We finally came up with the best combination, both in effective stopping and ease of installation.
