maleah 17 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 Looking to replace stock set up with disks in the front and shoes in the back. Any suggestions on replacements to upgrade from stock? Im using the car now in the spring/summer/fall for shows, rides and general driving fun. Im going to keep the non power disk set up and keep the shoes in the back. Thanks!

cavboy78 28 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 Mustang Steve brackets for late model Mustang set-up or the KH types sold by John at Opentracker. I have the late models discs on my 70 and the KH type on my 66. Both would work great for your application. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasEd 188 Report post Posted March 14, 2019 I installed the CSRP 4 cylinder power kit on my original spindles. If I can do it anyone can. It would definitely be easier with the engine out but I did mine with it in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maleah 17 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 How much of a driving difference do you feel going from a non power set up to power? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969vert 55 Report post Posted March 16, 2019 big difference...power is very nice.. have a manual disc I drag race and its ok.. will stop any time.. But have 2 power disk cars that will through you forward if hit to hard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasEd 188 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 My wife complained about the manual brakes and she just drove it with the power brakes and didn't mention it. It is a big difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangman69 17 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 70+ spindles and MustangSteve brackets. 94-04 Cobra 13” discs and calipers. Cobra discs in rear too. I fabbed up some universal style braided stainless flexible lines and adapted to stock hard lines. Manual master. No road time yet, may end up going power booster once I get some drive time in.

stangman69 17 Report post Posted March 30, 2019 Really? So you prefer manual brakes? What are you running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted March 30, 2019 Really, true story. With the Booster Dewey rebuilt Midland power booster, I could only make 15 bars of vacuum and 925 psi at the caliper. When I removed the booster and installed the manual brake pedal, I had 2001 Cobra 13" rotors and the PBR calipers. I now have 14.2" rotors and 4 piston 2014 Mustang GT Brembo calipers. Both the 13 and 14" combos worked well with a Dorman M39953 1" bore master cylinder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangman69 17 Report post Posted April 3, 2019 How does the pedal feel? How does it stop? I like the simplicity of manual brakes a lot just don’t have any experience to pull from short of a full drum setup on Grandaddy’s old 72 F100. Wish I still had that truck...

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 Every manual brake car I've driven had better pedal feel than the power ones. It stops better than ever now. I too like the simplicity and more room under the hood. 1 stangman69 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, did you purchase your kit with the booster or did you use your own? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were times I wished I was staying manual like when I had to replace the pedal and when I had to rehook the brake lines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike65 475 Report post Posted April 13, 2019 I installed the same kit as TexasEd from CSRP, the 4 piston K/H type calipers mounted on the stock drum brake spindles with brake booster. I installed mine with the engine out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
