I've been doing a lot of research on brakes for my 66 Fairlane (same spindles as the Mustang).
I've pretty much decided to go with the Baer Track (13") front & Touring (12") rear. The price point / looks /
performance are right for the car (no racing, just cruising).
Wilwood has limited selection for old Fords; max rotor size is 11.75". no 12" or 13" rotors, and no 6 piston
calipers. Not that you really need the 6 piston calipers, but these cars are rarely about what you *need*,
right? ;-) GT350Clone and others have reported that the 11.75" Wilwoods will move your wheels out ~ .5"
as well.

Global West sells their own rotors w/ Wilwood calipers. They also use the beefier 1970+ Mustang spindles:

JMC also makes their own kits:

and if you have the $, you can get 6 piston calipers from them.
SSBC is my close 2nd choice after Baer. Baer c/s has not been too good so far. They're hard to get
a hold of and are not good at calling back (we're double checking the Fairlane fitment). The ~ $2300
I want to spend with them might not be big $ to them, but its big to me.
