It looks like all you are getting is just the brackets, no calipers, master cylinder, proportioning valve, anything. Plus if your car doesn't have factory v8 spindles, you will have to upgrade to those from what I have heard. I just ordered a complete kit from CSRP that includes everything to bolt right up just like it would have been from the factory for mine. The price was $525 for the entire kit with pads, rotors, calipers, and all the accessories. I upgraded to the power brake unit that comes with the new power brake booster too. My total price with shipping was $775.84.

Not sure how much you are willing to spend, but in my opinion it is cheaper to have all new parts that will for sure work on your car than to buy some random parts and wonder. I can send you the link to their site if you can't find it doing a search. Good luck with the upgrade.

The car is an original v8 car so im not worried about spindles and such. I did look at discbrakeswap.com and their kits in the past and was drawn to their cheap prices and complete kits. In the end though I could probably accomplish a decent disc brake swap with these brackets. I can get rotors, calipers , the master cylinder and prop valve all at cost so im not too worried about that. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with these brackets and quality. On my jeep I did a similar disc brake swap to my 14 bolt using bolt on brackets and parts from other vehicles with success.....but who knows about these?

those brackets are from scarebird mechanical. there have been a couple of people on this forum that have used their stuff to good effect. there have been a couple of people on fordsix.com that have used their stuff also. and with the exception of a bad hub, that was replaced by scarebird, there have been no issues.
