Neal,

I found a complete setup for my dart last fall.  Maybe sometime this
summer I will have the time to rebuild/install them.

As long as the Kelsey Hayes brakesystems are rebuilt correctly, they stop
a car pretty well.  One person told me the stop you better than the
single piston setup, but I've heard just the opposite too.  I've heard
some people had problems with one of the 4 pistons on them locking up.  I
think that means they arent put together correctly, or the calipers need
to be rebuilt or replaced, if they continue to stick.  With 4, I think it
increases the odds that eventually one might stick.

If someone is keeping 5 on 4 bolt pattern, I think these are essential. 
Yes, the 10" drums will stop you just as fast, but with the disc setup,
you have to worry about brake fade a lot less.  Mountain driving with an
automatic...  Doesnt sound like fun with drums.
