I just re did my brakes. I went with Wilwood rotors and 4 piston calipers.
The dual M/C is the way to go. You may actualy want the smaller M/C on the front. It seems backwards but you don't need volume (larger M/C bore) you need more fluid presure (smaller M/C bore)
In my case I now have 3/4" M/C's on the front & rear sides.
The realy big improvement came with the 4 piston calipers. The old 1 piston with the slide mount was realy bad. I think my pedal effort is down by 30% to 40%!!

I bought my front brake kit from HotrodsUSA.com It has new hubs, bearings, 11 3/4" disks, mounting brackets and the 4 piston calipers. This set up still fits inside my 15" wheels. It is designed to replace Granada rotors on mustang 2 spindles without changing the offset. As an extra bonus it shaved 16 pounds of weight PER SIDE of the front. 32 punds total.

It went together perfectly and now that everything is seating in it is terrific.
