Brake kits

[pontiacgp]

if they are small you can use the Crown Vic swap and if large you can use the Explorer rear brakes

Dunno yet. Building car from back to front. Rear end then drive shaft then redoing trans

Here is the rear disc kit I got for my 9 inch. I got the stock rotors and had them re-drilled for 5x4.75. Looks like Moser will send them to you already set up. That way you can shop for wheels with the same bolt pattern as stock. http://www.moserengineering.com/bra.../part-6300g-ford-explorer-disc-brake-kit.html

Just curious, do you have issues with Wilwood? Or just their price?

That's why I responded the way I did on the 2nd post. Wasn't trying to be a smart *ss if it sounded that way?

I am actually considering them for bigger front and rear conversion on my '87 442 but naturally would prefer to spend less. They are at least cheaper than Baer.

Yea their price is just crazy. Prob just gona go with a standard disk kit from qp. Wilwood is like 670 for rear axle vs starard kit from qp is like 315.

I've had good luck with Powerstop rotor and pad kits from Rock Auto on my daily. They are China which I'm not crazy about but good luck finding USA rotors. EBC is made in the United Kingdom. I ran a set of their yellow pads on my daily and that was the wrong pad to choose (my fault) as they had a short life (stopped great though). When I did the Blazer brake swap on my GP I went with Powerstop.

working on my car these days I took a look at the yellow EBC pads I have. Your right, they have worn kinda quick but like you said they do work great and I'll get them again when these wear out. I'd rather spend money on pads than body work....
