I don't know what you are working on, but I do know that the right brake pads make a tremendous difference on how a car stops!

I'm working on a CRI frame I purchased in 1991 with their build manual that's about all I got from them, but they got all my money. The rest of the parts came from Mainly Classics. I finnaly got the car on the road 3 years ago, and the brakes are not right. I'm at a point where some major changes need to made. One question I have is was a change made with Master/Booster setup since 1991 in the new build manual?. I currently have the Mustang II 1973-1979 Master/Booster, I also have the 11" Granada roters with GM calipers, with rear drums, the engine is a 351W built to edlebrocks preformer RPM specs.

yesterday my father gave me a Wilwood Mustang II spindle assemblys with the Wilwood dynalite 4-piston calipers, and 10 3/4 rotors, from a project he gave up on some time ago, (I think he's tired my complaining). Before I bolt this assembly on will the current Master/Booster setup work?, or should change that out also, I have read about changeing the peddel location in past posts. From the input I have gotten from this post, and what I have read from past posts if I convert to disks in the rear I need to change the Master/Booster setup.

Last question; should I just bolt on the new spindle assembly, with the current Master/Booster and see how it works, or bite the bullit and convert the rears to disk also. (this option will take alot convincing to she who must be obeyed that spending more money on the car is good thing)

Thanks again guys, like many people I'm just a weekend mechanic who appriciates the input from this fourm.

Mike, from Pinckney Michigan

David, I have GM calipers on the front and stock ford mustang calipers on the rear. I am looking for better pads, which brand and pad do you recommend?

Thanks,
Darren
