Default disc brakes for 9"

where can I get a disc brake set up for a 9" out of a 67 mustang. the rear is apart and have most of the drum stuff but would like to get a upgrade. NOT looking to spend $1000
Oh and also need new 31 spline axles, where can I pick them up cheaper
Thanks,
Tom

Wilwood if you want affordable brakes that will outperform virtually anything out there. You can get a complete rear end kit with parking brake setup for around $650 iirc. And it's not the flashy fancy useless crap either, you won't be able to burn them up no matter how hard you race it.

i have a big bearing 9" and just slapped a Ford Racing set in there (which is the same as a Ford Explorer brake). But there's two different 9" rears, so we need to know what you're having
