Default Marathon Disc brake upgrade?

Hello All

Has anyone here done a disc brake upgrade on a 1994 Marathon?

With my new engine installed it has lots more spunk. I use the cart to pull my boys Jr Dragster and haul around four big people at times. We have a huge hill that our staging lanes are on and have nightmares about the brakes giving up the ghost with the dragster in tow!

Just wanted to see if anyone has first had experience with a kit before starting to dig in.

Thanks!

I got mine done last month and can tell you I went from planning long stops to being able to lock them up! My drums and shoes were in good shape, too. It was totally worth the $300.

Thanks for the reply!

What set up did you go with and who did you buy from?

The kit in that link says 1994 TXT and up, can that be retrofitted to a 94' Marathon?
