Granada Disc Brake Upgrades
I put Granada Disc Brakes and Spindles on my 66 Coupe a couples year back and now I'm looking to upgrade again. Are there any upgrades that I can bolt onto the Granada spindles? I sold my old spindles/drum brakes so that's not an option anymore.

I saw some guy on the web somewhere make adapter blocks that let you mount up a '99 GT PBR caliper but he hasn't responded to my e-mails.

You've done the swap but how about those rotors?

It'll be hard, but look for disc brake set up from 65 and up Tbird, LTD and Licoln 4 piston set up. They're bigger rotors and bibber 4 piston calipers then the Mustang stuff. These parts were used by Budd Moore and the rest for road racing with very good results.

Just like the Granad swap, you'll need the whole setup, spindles ect..

Actually, they did this swap using the original spindles, not the Granda's...sorry, should have read the article more closely.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Get a bigger MC, IMO that'll do more than anything else.

You'll get less pedal travel but need to press harder. Don't know if that makes things so much better.
