rear disk you can get off a thunder bird i forget what years , (rear disk) unless your talking new stuff. but im assuming your talking a lil budget here . i know you can get svo calipers in the front instead of stock which are better and not all that much .

well actually let me change that, i am looking for new stuff. the problem is that while i have been looking at complete brake kits, i am seeing a range of $1700-3000 in price. like i said, a new rear disk kit is about $600-700, which i do need b/c the drums, not disks just suck. then i am considering getting cross-drilled just on the front probably 13 inch. i am wondering if this is a good combo for better braking at a somewhat lost cost. i want newer stuff, i just dont have $1700-3000 to spend on brakes. any thoughts?
