For front brakes I wouldn't bother with the upgrade unless you go to the Cobra or Cobra R brakes. The Cobra style are fairly affordable, the R's are somewhat expensive but they are sweet.

In all honesty, the rears suck. They are jack screw calipers. The good thing about Mustang Steve's kit is that he uses the larger Cobra rear rotors instead of the standard GT rotor. It is the same caliper and factory bracket, just different pads/rotors. I like setups that have a disc rear with a drum parking brake. IMO you should try something different unless you want to try puting ABS in or something.

The same bracket will work for both, the mounting locations are exactly the same, the only difference is the bracket that comes with the caliper spaces them to the correct height for the rotor.
That makes no sense to me what so ever. As long as the same hubs are used it should be able to mount all 3 different setups. The only thing the bracket does is locate the stock parts, as far as I know there is no other intermediate bracket. If it mounts one it should mount them all because they all use the same hubs and mount to the same spot on the stock SN95 spindle. If one is located properly then they should all be located properly. Maybe I'm missing something but thats what my logic tells me.[/Q/]
I'm pretty sure the MS kit and I know the Ventage Venom kit uses the Vintage Drum brake spindles and hubs.

FRPP sells a 94-04 Caliper bracket kit to correctly mount Cobra/Bullitt rear calipers on GTs and V6s. There is no front bracket kit however, they bolt to the same points on the spindle.
I would therefore assume that Mustang Steve's brackets will work with GT calipers on the front, but not the rear.
Everyone I am looking for BLUEPRINTS, not for brackets from a commercial seller. Anyone can help?
Just a guess...
The caliper mounting bracket places the caliper out from the centerline. On MS's kit it is spaced to work on a 13" Cobra rotor, the stock GT/V6 rotor was considerably smaller. Ergo it will not fit the lesser SN95 combos.
well even the stock v6 brakes are better than stock early mustang brakes, they are exactly the same brakes as the GT used too and both had the 2 piston PBR calipers so there is still merit in using them but they have the same size rotor as the early mustangs too, so no benefit there, only the calipers.
I guess that all comes down to exactly what kind of stock/vintage brakes your classic has. If you have any year of drum then for sure the V6 discs from any SN95 are better. Arguably true if you have the 68-70 single piston discs too. But if you have the 4-piston (Kelsey Hayes?) design I'm gonna say no unless you can increase rotor size. Those designs were awesome, even more so for their day.
