Rick, your front set up with Mustang 2 spindles, 11" Granada rotors and GM single piston calipers has been used on tens of thousands of streerods, kit cars, and upgraded mustangs over the years. You might try calling one of the street rod vendors as I believe you can upgrade your existing spindles to a better rotor/caliper combo for a nice upgrade or replace the spindles with a newer design and bigger rotor/caliper combo for the ultimate upgrade. The two things you want to check carefully are fit within your existing wheels (you are limited somewhat by anything less than 17" wheels) and maintaining existing backspace. The last thing you want is a great brake upgrade that requires new wheels or you have the existing ones sticking out of the wheel wells like some off-road mess. Good luck!
