Granada frond disc size?
 
Does anyone know how large the front disks were on the Granada and like cars?

I think they're 11's. I got them on mine right now, they look like the same size as the original Mustang discs. Just watch out on the wheels....original stock Mustang wheels have a smaller center, and won't fit the Granada style discs.....not a problem of course if you have after-market wheels.

Thanks guys, apparently they are not any larger than my stock disks. Was wondering if they might be 12's or something. I want more stopping power, but what can I say, I am cheap.

I have Granada front disks. I think they're 10", but I'm not positive. Works so much better than the drums, that I'm happy as hell.

One thing I must warn about is the non captured actuating rod in the Granada master cylinder. My kit came with a set up that would allow the brake pedal to be pulled backwards to let the rod fall out on the floor. I made a bracket that screwed onto the steering column to make a rearward stop for the brake pedal, thus preventing that catastrophe.

ditto.....I drilled a hole in the pedal support and used a large bolt and a couple of nuts to make an adjustable stop for the same reason......it would be a terrible situation to catch your foot under the brake pedal and have the rod fall out.
