A disc brake kit is used to convert an older automobile's drum brakes to disc brakes. Your 2001 Gallant already has disc brakes. It would not require the disc conversion kit. When you begin to hear your brakes squeaking it is time to take your car to the repair shop for new brake pads.

Performance Disc Brake Kits?
Performance enthusiasts, restorers and plain old shade-tree mechanics know that both driving capability and safety can be enhanced by upgrading from OEM brakes to something a little more advanced. These drivers will often purchase disc brake kits and install them to get superior braking performance when compared to stock brake parts. A disc brake kit will generally consist of the parts necessary to do one axle, either the front or rear, but kits can also consist of everything needed for all four wheels. Depending on the specific vehicle, the dis brake kit for one axle will be comprised of two discs, aka. rotors, and four brake pads. Some kits contain some additional small hardware specific to certain vehicles. Installing brake kits is fairly simple. Anyone who has changed spark plugs, replaced an alternator or a serpentine belt will generally have the necessary skill level. A floor jack, along with some jack stands and some basic hand tools will do the job. The benefits of using a disc brake upgrade kit will be shorter stopping distances, quitter braking, reduced brake dust, increased pedal feel and less fading from heat buildup. Materials used for manufacture vary, but an upgrade kit will typically have better specifications regarding such issues as heat dissipation, corrosion resistance and discs will be carefully machined to prevent cracking. These are all important considerations for anyone involved in high performance driving. Most sellers of disc brake kits offer at least several for any particular car, with price increasing as performance and quality of manufacturing materials increases. All the major auto parts chains carry disc brake kits for most cars and trucks. Those interested in the highest quality, who demand uncompromising performance and want nothing less than the best can find local specialty shops that sell nothing but high performance parts. Of course, the Internet is a good source, but only if you know exactly what you want and need. Disc brake kits are generally pretty heavy, so returning an item that does not suffice for some reason can quickly negate any price advantage offered initially by online merchants. Another advantage a local source of disc brake kits offers is the type of advice and experience that can only be obtained from a hands-on environment.
