Default Better brakes & rotors??

I have a 93 lx notchback driven daily and driven hard. I want to up grade brakes and rotors but stay with my 4 lug. Any ideas on type of rotors and brakes. Thinking drilled rotors not sure of brand and not sure about pads. Thanks!!

also if you're looking to upgrade the rears you can get an entire rear end out of some of the crown vics and they have disks. It will bolt right in, I foget which years though.

Good luck getting the vics rear to bolt up.If you are truely serious and are going to do it right get yourself a TURBOCOUPE T-BIRD rear end they had posis and disc brakes.But you will need to upgrade to the larger master cylinder.

so the svo calipers will swap right out without any mods, just have bigger pistons? never heard that one. i know ACDelco makes slotted and vented rotors for mustangs, not at a bad price either.
