I am also at the crossroads of wanting to upgrade my brakes. I have slotted Granada rotors on the front with mid 70's GM non metric calipers and slotted Lincoln Versailles rotors with calipers from '88 Ford Turbo T-Bird which I understand are the same as those on a '93 Mustang Cobra. The front package is what I'd like to upgrade. With the Mustang II spindles, GM calipers and compilation of 6 pin 15" FIA knock off wheels with the adapters it makes for intersting conversation with the tech people at the brake vendors. For the time being if I could come up with a good solid 4 piston caliper with a suitable mounting bracket I would use the existing rotors and believe it would serve my needs. In the past I had considered the OEM calipers from a '66 Mustang GT but to my knowlege I would need to make my own brackets, but it is still an option.
Feedback from some sources indicate that some of the Wilwood calipers don't provide a rock solid feel. Maybe just a more aggresive pad with what I have would improve it too?

It's a jungle looking though this stuff.

Who out there has upgraded from the above (?), AND

which Wilwood Caliper is illustrated on the ERA Website?
