Front Brakes - 1967 Mustang

[jmsdell82]

Looking for a good front disc brake conversion for my 1967 Mustang Fastback. Was looking as SSBC, they have some good affordable prices.
What do you think of this set?
MUSTANG SSBC FRONT DISC BRAKE COMP STREET KIT 'AT THE WHEELS' V8 1965-1969

Is there something better for the money or perhaps a different company?
Thanks for your time.

If you are looking for something stock, I would reccomend discbrakeswap.com, I did the power-brake convertion with parts from him, and they work great

why not do the cobra conversion, you can do it cheaper than the ssbc kit.

if you do the SSBC kit Summit has them on sale right now.

If your wanting to convert from drum to disc, I prefer the OE type discs or Granada brakes. They allow you to run 15 inch wheels.

I went with Granada brakes on mine, and it works very well. I wanted to run 15 inch Magnum 500s.

Most of the other options like the Cobra brakes require you to run larger wheels.

SSBC makes good stuff, so I'm sure you will be happy with their setup, if you choose to go that route. I don't know what wheel size is required for SSBC brakes though. Thats cool, I just looked and you can run 15s with their kit.

I like wilwoods. great product for the money. SSBC is a kelley hayes caliper for the cheap base model.

Whatever you do go aluminum caliper so you can remove some weight off the front end.

Go to Mustang Steve's website. He has a conversion kit to run Cobra brakes.

You can get the OEM-style 67 brake kit from Glazier Nolan for under $600. Add $100, and they'll include power boost.

Have any of you had any experience w/ their rear disc conversion?

Front discs are more important than rear disc. The rear drum setup really works very well. Upgrading to rear disc is really not necessary. Basically what I'm trying to say is that there is not much to be gained by swapping the rear brakes.
