lalojamesliz 56 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 Updated on post 7 I originally wanted to run the drum brakes on the rear that are on the housing now but now I want disc. I'm going to try running the small bearing housing and just avoid slicks and the drag strip for now. What's a good disc brake set up for the Ford small bearing housing? I do drive aggressively so I'm familiar with brake fade and want to get something that keeps that away if possible...... Something that can be ordered and doesn't cost a arm and a leg or a testicle..... the junk yards by me suck, well the ones I've been too so I'd rather order something new I would love to just get a set of front and rear disc brakes that I won't have to upgrade later but I already have the front 13" cobra brakes and want to save some $$$ if possible by using them I need to decide on this so I can order the 3rd member and axles. As always I appreciate all of the help. Thanks again guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lalojamesliz 56 Report post Posted June 30, 2021 I saw the 12 rear disc brakes from street or track but is 1200 what I should expect to pay for a decent kit or do you guys know of other options? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmlay 80 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 Brackets from here, rotors, and some new or rebuilt calipers and your your good to go. https://mustangsteve.com/product-category/rear-disc-brake-conversion-brackets/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lalojamesliz 56 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 I was looking at his website too. I was thinking the same about just the brackets but where would I get the rotors with the correct bolt pattern? He sells a front and rear kit with 14" and 13" rotors from a 2016+ mustang for 1900 but if I just bought the brackets and got the calipers/pads/hoses myself I wouldn't know where to get the large rotors with the correct bolt pattern for my 69.

All of the brackets he sells are all for rotors that already have the right bolt pattern. Just find someone parting out one of those cars, or even buy the parts new.

lalojamesliz 56 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 I just got the green light from the wife to buy a actual quality kit that will hold up to some track time! My daughter wants to take the mustang to a track I now I think my wife does. I just drove to Malibu Beach and I was able talk to her finally about it Recommended front and rear kit? Wilwood, Baer, brembo? I have 18" torq thrust 2 wheels and I'm thinking 3.5k will be my limit. I haven't looked to see what's available yet. Thanks for the info so far guys.

Even the kit mustang Steve sells for 18 or 1900 that has 14" front and 13" from a 2016+ mustang has the single piston rear caliper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lalojamesliz 56 Report post Posted July 3, 2021 looking at the SOT 13 front and 12 rear with 4 pistons on both.... anyone here have this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavboy78 28 Report post Posted July 4, 2021 I would save that money or spend it elsewhere, and get the single piston rear calipers. I have not run into issues with the single piston rear brakes on the track, to include my 2012 boss 302. Now front brakes are a different story...
