Well, is there anything wrong w/ the rotors and calipers?

my little red 90

if you drive it hard enough that the brakes fade, then you need to do something, but better pads (Hawk HP+) may do the trick.
you can get well over $1000 in aftermarket brakes.

unless it sees track use I 'd just use stock rotors and either EBC GREEN STUFF OR red stuff pads

the stock calipers are kinda rusted and basically look like $hit. so its killing the look, so i was thinkin of throwin on some new ones. just wanna kinda upgrade it,

go to your local parts store, get some reman ones and pick up some high temp paint and coat them to the color of your liking ftw!!!

Turn the rotors, replace the calipers (for the $19.99 with steel pistons it's worth it) and get the Maximum Motorsports brake upgrade kit. It's $246 but it does make a difference. I'm assuming you're still rolling with drums on the back(?).

I'm running EBC on my wife's Expedition, and they tend to leave ceramic deposits on the rotors, causing a slight rapid pulse in braking after about 7K miles. May not happen on the 'Stangs since they are a tad lighter than the Expeditions!

Amen! I went to Discount about 6 years ago, picked up a can of Ford blue high temp paint, pulled my calipers without even disconnecting the hoses, gave them a once-over with soapy water, and sprayed them. They still look awesome, even up close when I pulled the rotors to be machined two weeks ago. In a world full of low-quality cheap crap, you gotta love something cheap and good!
