Brake Rebuild Suggestions

[rwhite65]

I ended up putting a dual master cylinder from a late model Lincoln mark VIII in mine bolted up to an 87 stang power booster. I wanted the power brakes with a dual cylinder, but didn’t want to pay the price. I am pretty darn happy with how it turned out, but there is some "minor" fabrication to get the install to work properly. The price tag was also very good.

There is a kit that some of the guys run on here that has better pads and a shoe, claiming the stopping power is much better with this kit. I will do some searching and post what I find when I get home here in a while. I am thinking of running this kit this summer.

I think Ryan is referring to Praise Dyno pads and shoes. That's what I use with my Granada front discs and stock rear drums on my '66 Stang. All of the tests that I have read showed superior stopping distances when compared to stock pads and shoes. I recently replaced my front pads and paid $92 for those pads alone. I've been happy over the last several years with the Praise Dyno products.

Rev is correct, they are who I was thinking of.
