Exactly what I was going to suggest with the 87 and up brake setup.Stainless steel brake lines, and steel caliper sleeves will also work well with a stock braking system.
so basically just get all factory 87 up spindles calipers rotors and hawk pads and i should be good don't worry about upgrading caliper or master
If you really want solid brakes, you'll need to add rear disk brakes, or better yet, upgrade to a modern 94+ brake system.
That is all well and good, but he said that he doesnt want 5 lug, and the 94+ spindles are actually worse for drag racing the way it throws the geometry off. Thats why you see so many guys with factory spindles and strange/wilwood brakes at the dragstrip. I found this out after i did my spindle swap.
I'm just trying not to overhype the 87+ system. Would hate to see him go through the expense of buying the parts, then installing them all and then finding out the brake system just isn't all that great.
SS lines front and rear, a rear disk conversion, hawk pads, SS sleeves, fresh brake fluid, etc...will make as difference, but will also cost a little $$$
MM sells a decent 4 lug brake upgrade with ss lines, caliper sleeves, and hawk brakes and pads for around $250. I've put that kit on a few mustangs and just bought it for the one I have.I'm just trying not to overhype the 87+ system.

is it worth doin the svo caliper or is that a waste of money

I did this kit on my 88 'vert and was happy with the results.MM sells a decent 4 lug brake upgrade with ss lines, caliper sleeves, and hawk brakes and pads for around $250. I've put that kit on a few mustangs and just bought it for the one I have.
Do the MM kit and go from there. You will see IMO a noticeable improvement in stopping distance. Check with Jarrod@latemodel to see if they sell that part, as Stangnet members get a discount.
