      Granada Spindle and Wilwood Big brake kit

      I am trying to put together a big brake kit for my granada spindles on my 1963 Ford Falcon. I thought it was a good thing to have these spindles until I realized no one makes a bbk. Shaun from street or track makes a kit, for $2600. I am pretty sure they are just rebranded aero 6 calipers from Wilwood. He doesn't mention what pads are used for the calipers but all the piston diameters match with the Wilwoods as well as pad area. I am trying to stick with Wilwoods to match my rear brakes. I want to keep it under $2000 and I dont necessarily want to engineer my own mounting brackets because I don't have a way to machine them and a machine shop will cost an arm and a leg. let me know what you guys think I should do, ditch the spindles and go to a v8 mustang spindle or is there a better option in my budget?

      Thanks

      Following. Got some Granada spindles on my Edsel, and curious about a bigger alternative as well... one that preferably won't break the bank.

      Maybe different spindles that would have the same tie rod attachment point

      I'd go this route. Much easier. Wilwood kits are already available.

      Update Granada spindles are identical to 1970-1973 mustang spindles. This is the kit I ordered and everything bolted right up. Wilwood even told me they wouldn't work but after speaking to Shaun from street or track he told me they would work. http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Bra...+GT350+%26+500
