That's why I said I wasn't trying be a smart butt when I responded cause I know it very well could have been perceived that way. It wasn't the intent just an example I could use was the 5 liter engines. I admittedly stand by the fact I'm pretty dumb when it comes to brakes. Yes I can take the rotors to be turned and replace the worn pads but don't understand the ins and outs of the system. Just like the booster and master cylinder, I don't have a clue which way to go or where to start to look.

As for the brakes I'm really giving some thought to trying out those adapter plates I posted in the video to bolt 05-14 Mustang rotors and calipers on. Mainly for the easy of finding a set. A local guy parts out cars and has a full set of front and rears off of a 2008 for $280. With the brackets I'd be less than $500 in front and rear disc brakes. He is a picture of the brackets. No one has chimed in on that video or the general concept so I'd like to hear concerns of the setup as well. My worst fear is the bracket failing but it looks pretty think and I have some friends in metal fabrication so I plan to run the idea by them before I just pull the trigger and see if they could add some strength to be on the safe side. Thanks again for helping educate me on brakes.

No problem I saw the video and to be honest in my very humble opinion i preffer in my coronet a set up of brakes that has been tested hundreds of times that one that does not look to me very good assembly or safe in the article you read said everything you need to get a perfect assembly and very important a good brake proportion between front and rear of the car thing that I don't see in that video but before you go with the mustang brake please check with a brake expert everything you need to get a good brakes in your car not for save some money you go in the wrong direction or even worst in the dangerous direction

I watched some of the ram man's videos and apparently he offers a complete kit. I'll call him tomorrow and get a price on one as well. I would much prefer a bolt on kit then call all the salvage yards I know and try to find the appropriate year parts for the perfect disc brake setup. Which was the main reason I was/am thinking heavily on that bracket and the Mustang setup. The ram man seemed to speak highly of the 71-73 (I believe) pin style calipers but I thought that article said to stay clear of that year but it could have said the spindles in that year. Honestly I've ingested to much to soon on the brakes. Lol

Yes indeed say stay away of those spindles due alignment issues Try to diggest it slowly lol have a good night man and my best wishes to you in your restoration

How well does it preform? I've heard not such good things from the ssbc kits but it was the first one I had debated.

Anyone know anything about this company? I found a guy locally that has a complete kit for the front (without booster and master cylinder) for $350.

I've bought suspension parts from them, not brakes. This guy is a member here (Jim) and offers a 10% discount to members from here. I know his suspension parts are good and other members have bought brake systems as well with the same result.

$350 for no master or booster. Ok, add about $200 to add a booster and master to that. Also, be careful when adding a booster. Most companies uses a GM/Chevy booster, which is a smaller diameter, in a kit. To me, a GM/Chevy booster just isn't right in a Mopar. No, not bashing neither. I think Mopar should stay Mopar.

Give Cass (Dr. Diff) www.doctordiff.com a call. He is in Mountain time so keep that in mind. I have power brakes. So I had my booster rebuilt and everything else came from Cass. Everything was included in his kit as well, down to the cotter pins and bolted straight up. Cass's customer service is top notch. Wayne (Ramman) is great as well. My decision came down to the two. Call around to several companies, get prices, what is all in each kit, cost to ship, etc. Write all of them down. Then make a decision or ask what we might say about each.

Attached is my set up

Same kit I have, works just fine. I added a $60 master cylinder from right stuff detailing (DBMC10), painted all the parts. I'm a manual brake guy so no booster expense here ... $350 is not a bad deal, the kit is pretty damn complete. If you can get a few bucks knocked off even better ! No need to over think the brake upgrade, any disc is better than drum !
