Brake Upgrade
 
Since my car is a 1982 it doesnt have the biggest of brakes. What i would like to do is upgrade the front brakes to the same as what newer fox's had. As far as the rear i would like to convert to disks. For the front whats the best way to do it? Can i get newer spindles and just use the whole setup from something like a 93? I know there are kits out there but kits are quite expensive and id like to just find a middle ground for this upgrade. As for the rear what can i do there. I know they have some pretty good kits and ive been looking into a couple of them. So my main concern is the fronts. Any help will be appreciated.

When I did the brakes on my 79 Pace Car several years ago I went the route you are talking about. I got some Fox body spindles at a wrecking yard and then bought cross-drilled rotors and Lincoln calipers (they are larger diameter than the stang calipers and bolt right onto the spindles). The car is light so it stops really well now. I can't remember what model Lincoln the calipers are for, but I'm sure someone here can tell you.
As for the back I would look at Ford Racing or Stainless Steel Brakes kits.
