Default Need some opinions for upgrades???

I am planning to go ahead and upgrade a few things on my 1989 Mustang. I would like to upgrade the front and rear brakes to discs'. I would like to get opinions on different manufacturers.

As far as upgrading my fuel injectors....What size should I get....24lb, 30lb, etc......

This is an everyday car for me....Not a drag car...but I do want some power....

Any help is good help.

Why do you think that you need to change your injectors? If your motor is stock or near stock leave it alone. Unless you have a blow or an H/C/I motor that needs them.

I am a little lost....Your front brakes are already disc's. If you are going to stay stock and you insist on converting your rear end to disc then FRPP makes a great kit with everything you need for the rear wheel disc brake conversion, they won't be good for excessive beatings but neither are the stock fronts either.

I am also confused about why you would want to up-size your injectors with no mod's?

are u auto or 5speed?
from my own 93 vert project i reccomend this:

---get subframe connectors, torque box reinforcements, and some other suspension mods like springs/shocks/braces are a good starting foundation. look on ebay for rear disk kits
---as far as injectors, instead upgrade your maf sensor size and make sure its calibrated for stock 19lbr's. maybe a cai and tb/egr size upgrade too.
---get some rear end gears 3.73 or 4.10

I am not even close to being a guru on any of these subjects.....That's why I love these forums...

Thanks for all of your advice....As far as the brakes go...I wantto upgrade my brakes...I was trying to get suggestions....Getting 3.73 ratio is going to be my next task....

It is a 5 speed....

I plan to do a few mods to it......tightening up the chasis is one of them...And since I plan to add several mods...I was going to upgrade the injectors...but as I can see I believe I should wait for this....

I am trying to figure out a logical order to go in....
