RE: Granada brake swap question.
Dont mean to steal this thread but its related so perhaps someone can help. I already have front disc but it all needs replaced. Whats the difference between replacing it all with the oem style stuff, or the Granada swap? Ive heard alot about it and it seems cheaper, so whats the drawback?
I might just dissamble, clean the spindles, and replace everything with oem style from a local store. Assembly shouldnt be a problem...

Yes....only with 5-lug rotors. Then you just put an 8-in rear axle from a v-8 car and you are done. If I install the IRS from Heidt's in my 65 I'll even sell you the stock 4-piston Kelsey-Hayes front brakes and the 3.25/1 rear axle for a good price.How about the Global west modified front suspension with Koni, Quickor and export/monti-carlo and Traction-Master under-rides for a very good price?

It depends on what yearMustang you have. Rebuilding your current system is likely to beless expensive if you can reuse spindles, bearing, hoses, hardware, tie rods. If not it would cost about the same.
