I have been reading articles about disc brake conversion on the 65 Mustang. I think the field has been narrowed to either the kit from CJ Pony Parts or the SSBC A120-20. Any comment on these choices or is there something better? I have already installed a new stock front end and last year had to replace the single master cylinder for a dual bowl. Also looking for comments on manual vs. power. Just looking to do the front for now.

I used the CSRP swap, it was significantly less that the others. It seemed like it was the same parts when I was looking years ago. No problems with it, instructions were easy, and customer service was good.

+1 on CSRP! For ease of installation, etc, I like manual.

When I installed my brakes it was a huge difference over the drums...the kit I got was power but I didn't put the booster on right away. I drove it around till I got another free weekend and put the booster on and it was another huge difference..it didn't stop any better...but it was a lot easier to push the pedal...I can make the front tires lock up with just my big toe
