How can I tell if my front brakes are from a Granada? I am planning to upgrade and when I noticed that when looking at most of them it seems that they are either for a granada type spindle or not......I bought the car with the brakes already on and am not sure where they came from....

Calipers

Early disc brakes are 4 piston, the Grenada calipers have a single large piston. So look at your brake calipers. If there is one large round hump in the caliper casting. They are Grenada type discs

On the back side of the spindle, you'll see the casting number. It'll begin with "D5" for a Granada.
