Thumbs up

Ditto on the Performance Friction pads. They are excellent, and available @ Autozone (mine were 27.89). I use Lincoln Mk VI brakes front and rear w/ rotors redrilled to the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. My car has the solid axle 9" rear, narrowed 8.25" by Currie (came from a Mk VI), so I used the stock disc setup but had to weld on spring perches and a new bracket to use the 4 piston discs from a 99 F250. Very big, very heavy and stop VERY well!! On the front I use the M2 spindle, Lincoln Rotors and the 4 piston calipers from a late model F150, again w/ a homemade braket cut from 1/4" plate steel. Absolutely excellent stopping power from any insane speed. I can give you part numbers if you like, and all parts (except the mounting brackets) are available.
