Default 4-wheel disk brake setup...

Has anyone used these from this ebay user (DIRECT FIT BRAKES)? I want to put disk brakes on the front for sure and was looking at discbrakeswap.com but wondering if 4-wheel would make this much of a difference. Any comments or suggestions? I like how its supposed to be a complete setup. Is there anything else not listed that I'd need?

I'm good with a manual and will be doing most of the work with a few others (father and friends) who know much more about all this then I do. However I'm left with ordering a lot of this myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

here is my thinking on the matter. The biggest advantage to 4 wheel disc brakes improved life of the front brakes and more controled stops, so if you are planning to drive fast than 4-wheel disc brakes are the way to go. As far as the kit you linked those are Granada front discs so you are basically getting the same stuff as www.discbrakeswap.com with one exception the stuff on ebay is reman. As far as the rear brakes the seller does not say but those look like some of the bowtie kits I have seen. My thinking is this I have no experience with the guy on eBay he may have quality parts but if it were me I would get my brakes from sellers that already have a good reputation in the Mustang community such as www.discbrakeswap.com for the front and www.ultrastang.com for the rear. chances are you should be able to do the 4 wheel set up for from these two vendors for about the same ore less than the guy on eBay.
