You might consider one other option. By the time you pick up all the Granada parts, the machine work, the new pads and so on, it might be more cost effective to go with disc's from Wilwwod on the front and go to an 11 inch drum on the rear. The Wilwood kit is $475.00 for all new and it fits on the existing spindle. The 11 inch rear drum is relatively cheap as well. That is what I have and it works great.
