dennis is discbrakeswap.com guy fyi if you were wondering who soaring was talking about. Soaring is the resident retromoder..............export brace, monte carlo bar and soon disk brakes I could go on about all the crazy mods he has plans for............but i'm off to the pub

 

i cannot remember if you need new spindles for a granada swap on a 67 i have looked in the Faq(new and improved) but its all listed for 65-66

 

Umm. yea, you need granada spindles for a granada swap. wether it be a 65 or a 67. You basically are transplanting the entire front braking system from one car into another.

 

Yeah, that goes without saying if you are going from drum to disk. If you are going from 67 disk to Granada disk you are a fool.

 

ANd if you are foolish enough to go from 67 disc's to granada discs, i'll take the 67's off your hands. ANd i have some ocean front property in arizona for sale.

 

okay stuipd question buy why would you be a fool?? what's the diff?

 

Because why would you want to take of original 67 mustang discs to do a swap with discs of a granada. Not alot of ppl. can say my 67 has the original discs up front.

 

ohhhh, okay, well mine has the origina discs up front! so HA

 

Well there you go grrum....Those rusty 14" keystones are hiding a little bit of gold. Freddy from Mustang Masters gets well over 500.00 for an original set of Kelsy Hayes discs.

From a strictly engineering point of view I would think that the Granadas are the superior design. 1 piston versus 4 pistons. Seems to me like the K.I.S.S. theory applies here.

That being said, they would serve snow cones in hell before I would take off an original disc setup to swap for a Granada setup.

 

I'm upgrading my 67 Cougar .... will the Granada front discs be enough ?

- $545 for the Granada Kit is way cheaper than $1200-1800 for a Wilwood 12.2" set.

Do I "need" the "monster" wilwoods ?
Or will the combination of Granada Discs in the front and 94 mustang GT discs in the rear (with good pads)
be enough for auto-xing and canyon running ?

.... have you ever "over heated" your brakes and experienced fade while auto-xing ?

What pads are you using ?
Know any other other "classic" auto-xers ? - what are they using for pads ?
