I just got my brakes done less than half a year ago on the fox and they bled the front but my car still feels like it wont stop worth %$%$. I also got new pads. My brakes still feel squishy. So next time i get my brakes bled (it was 30$) I want to know what i can do to improve braking. I have diamond slotted rotors, i will get stainless steel brake lines so my pedal wont feel squishy, and maybe some new stainless bushins? anything else? i heard some 73mm calipers will bolt right on, but i didnt know what car they were off of. please help me! thanks a lot!

Get the 73mm calipers with a steel piston if you can. They are usually denoted in the part numbers with a "S". If not the phonemic will work fine on the street. Get the calipers for a '91 Lincoln Mark VII for a direct bolt in (other 86-91 Lincoln's should all have the 73 mm calipers, 86-91 Crown Victorias and 84-86 SVO 4cyl Turbo Mustangs). Here are the part numbers the remanufactured Bendix parts:
Left caliper : R55247S
Right caliper: R55246S
